Unpopular opinion: washing hands is overrated. (Outside of medical setting)

We have this magic protection mechanism called the skin. Yes, touching eyes and mouth can spread infections, but it is way less common than people think and especially - washing your hands ten times a day won't help much. Before you wash your hands, you already touched everywhere on your body.

From Skeptic to Success My Investment Breakthrough

Like many people, I was cautious about online investments. The fear of losing money kept me from taking action. But everything changed when a trusted friend introduced me to Susan’s investment platform on WhatsApp.

Taking a leap of faith, I invested $5,000 and I saw quick returns! That moment reshaped my outlook on wealth-building, showing me that the right investment can open doors to financial freedom.

Today, I’m proud to say I earn over $100,000, all thanks to that one decision. If you’re looking for a smart way to grow your wealth I highly recommend Susan she’s an expert in financial success.

Agreed. Not to mention that excessive use of dessinfectants give rise to MRSA and other rather deadly bacteria.

Fun fact: soap is a disinfectant. It literally dissolves bacterial membranes, spilling their guts out into the wash water and sending them down the drain.

Putting antibacterial agents in soap is beyond retarded. It's a marketing scheme that doesn't make you healthier. Avoid these products.

💯 agreee. My parents didn't make us wash our hands growing up and I have always had a very strong immune system.

Hard disagree.

I get sick the least in my family because I am paranoid about germs. Wash my hands 20 times a day. But also just pay attention to everything you touch and everything that touches your food.

I have avoided many illnesses that everyone else caught. Many such cases.

Exercise, diet, and sleep are also key. Fit body == fit immune system.

A key concept I picked up from the COVID era is viral load. Learn about it and incorporate it into your defensive strategy. A lot of people get a little cough and think "Well I'm already infected now, might as well just give up." This is bad and makes you sicker. Don't think like that.

I get least sick and I don't care about germs. My immune system is trained on common daily exposure, so I don't get sick easily.

Also, I'm not willing to stress and sacrifice my time. Being mindful about germs and washing hands often takes away energy that can be better invested elsewhere.
