    Nope. Not worried about bacteria. And I am well aware of germ theory. Most of my bacteria worries center around open wounds, even tiny ones because they hurt. :) If you clean and seal those correctly, it’s amazing how fast they heal.

    If you go down that road, you’re going to live in fear your whole life. Did you just take a breath?! You certainly sucked down some bacteria, and 100% you sucked down fungus spores.

    I don’t have time for it. Get some biology education, learn what real risks look like, you’ll be fine.

      ‘live in fear your whole life.’

      My guy, that is a wild way to look at anything. People aren’t germophobic for washing their hands. Are you worried about being seen as weak by a staphylococcus? It can’t be a worry about how humans perceive you because then you’d be sudsing up like a normal person because no one is going to call you a pussy for washing your hands but everyone is going to call you an asshole for not.

      Even if you are healthy enough to resist it, it might interest you to know there are people who aren’t, and maybe they don’t want to have to fight off an extra infection because you’re so shit-your-pants terrified of someone calling you weak that you can’t consider their basic needs.
