I’ve long had a problem with the germaphobia that has been becoming more a more of a problem in society. Sure, I don’t want to needlessly expose myself to significant germs, but the simple truth is that germs have been around forever and in the generations upon generations before us, people were not generally dropping dead from somebody blowing out candles on a birthday cake or touching a door handle in a bathroom.
Anyway, researchers at Duke University have discovered that lab rats who live in an excessively clean environment would get sick easier than rats in the wild.
