When I took micro (’74-’75, junior year of college) the prof had a saying that stuck with me so clearly it’s like embedded in my brain. “Everyday we live in a sea of bacteria, viruses, and more.” Without our immune systems we’d be dead.
So you wipe up a few in those few inches on the handrail but you’re still in that sea. Not a bit of difference in the big picture.
Without normal flora, you’d be dead too. It’s all about balance.
Early in my microbiology training, we had a film where the doctor approaches a gal on the exam table, lifts the sheet covering her nether regions, and reels back like he’d been poleaxed with a 2X4. The narrator says, utterly deadpan, “One of the characteristics of anaerobic infections is an intense odor.”
I couldn’t have said it better Greg…
“Without normal flora, you’d be dead too.”
Absolutely!
The only times I get paranoid about it are when I touch a gas pump handle or there is a buffet. Don’t eat at buffet’s. I used to know this guy who I am pretty sure was killed by eating at a buffet in a strip club. He was in the hospital for weeks with horrible gastrointestinal problems that later on turned into cancer and took him out. I don’t know that the bacteria caused the cancer but it certainly triggered a chain of events. All because he wanted to go look at some naked skanks.
Yup, we walk around in a cloud of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts, and as we cross paths, we exchange parts of our clouds. The idea of staying 6 feet apart is so our clouds of bugs don’t get a chance to intermingle. That’s why airplanes, schools, doctors’s offices, and such are disease factories.
That’s my wife!
I, on the other hand, am constantly training and testing my immune system. Gas pump handles, door handles, grocery carts, etc? No problem. Works great.
They’ll get me with a DNA modified pathogen with “my” type, targeted.
The mRNA jabs are designed to severely impair the immune system, so BigPharma has plausible deniability.
