Yup. You gotta call each shot as you see it, on your own best judgement. I agree with you, Rap, that this society is germ-obsessed to an unhealthy extent, and that is driven by advertising in order to sell thousands and thousands of pharmaceutical and cleaning products (many of which in themselves are toxic, harmful, and unnecessary).

The best defences of good health are: a good diet, fresh water, fresh air, and exercise. Most of us (including me) could use some improvement in all those areas, but our minds are usually on something else (like typing on Mudcat...grin).
