    Don’t lick your fingers. Unless you just washed your hands. This is how you get sick.

    Touch your fingers on a damp/wet vegetables instead.

      That’s how you build natural immunity.

      You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.

      You’d think germ theory hasn’t been discovered since fucking 1762.

        Not everything you’re infected with gives you benefits, there are a vast many transmissible infectious agents that can literally kill you. While the chances of licking your finger in a grocery store and getting something that bad are pretty slim, it does happen, and your “natural immunity” is working all the time anyway, you don’t need to DO anything to help it along, stop thinking you know better than either medical science OR your own body. If you’re annoyed with how other people handle their hygiene, how about be an adult and keep quiet.

        Yes, which is why you don’t need to go out of your way to get exposed to more.

            Good metaphor, since the water balloon is separate from the waterfall and could be filled with anything.

              I mean, by definition a water balloon is filled with water.
