I find the obsession with having a sterile environment ridiculous. Our bodies themselves are teeming with microbes and viruses, actually our bodies contain more of them than our own human cells. They play an important role in our digestive system, as well as our metabolism and also keeping our immune system on its guard.

What needs to be done is not to eliminate those actors, but rather to make our bodies resilient to potentiel pathogens.
