Anonymous Coward User ID: 76039063 New Zealand 01/10/2023 07:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not a thread against washing your hands, however I do not understand the logic that it helps your immune system. There's no reason it would. In fact there seems to be evidence that it hurts your immune system. There's several toxic ingredients in most soaps. You won't find one without them by accident you have to look for more expensive ones in health stores. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85089254 It is not for your immune system that you wash your hands. It is for everyone else's. 140 years agog Doctors in hospitals did not wash their hands between patients. 70% of patients would die. When they made Doctors wash their hands between clients they didn't die of what the last guy had. Studies have shown EVERYONE DIES. Try and stop it. Since everyone dies, why don't people get out and live life to the fullest? Be born, get educated, work for the man until you retire or die before retirement then retire and die. Doesn't seem like much of a life for the working person. |

Wearing gloves would seem to be a smarter solution to that. You wash your hands then you touch things again right? You don't get immunity to cross contamination by washing your hands, it only gets rid of bacteria that were already on your hands. Again I'm not against washing your hands, but this logic that it will help your immune system is just false. |

Don’t shit outside unless you’re willing to pick it up- cuz that’s gross to come across human poop outside. Don’t know why - it just is. |
