Of course I am. One, they help decompose waste and other things like carcasses and the leaves that fall from trees. (If we didn't have germs, there would be so many leaves. They would probably be up to our faces!) Two, there is good bacteria. You know, it helps you stay healthy and it lives inside of you. It's also one of the reasons why hand sanitizer says "Kills 99.9% of bacteria. Not only are there some bad germs you can't kill, but the good germs you need! Good germs help you to digest your food too. We wouldn't be able to do it properly without bacteria.

 

I know there are some germaphobes on here, too. (I mean no offense by what I'm about to say!) I understand you may feel repulsed by germs, but you have to also remember germs are everywhere and we can't always control what goes on. Especially when they're microscopic. You shouldn't have to worry so much about them because it seems to me you all have amazing hygiene and keep clean the best you can. That's good! Just, don't let this phobia take over your life. Constantly worrying isn't good, and you might hurt yourself in the process of trying to stay clean. Washing your hands too much strips the natural oils from your skin, leaving you prone to getting the bad bacteria into your immune system. Although, I'm not trying to downplay how you may feel about germs. It's okay to feel this way, I just hope you don't live in constant worry and fear about some things that may never happen to you because of germs. That's all I have to say, for now. If you read this, thank you for taking the time to do so. Stay safe and have a great day!
