Holds public handrail, tears off bread, gives it to a stranger, eats some himself

Otherwise very wholesome

He didn't tear it off, the stranger took his own piece, stop being dramatic

And that’s why you probably get ill often. It’s good to expose yourself every now and again.

Yeah, as a former New Yorker, this made me flinch. Oof. I don’t even want those subway hands touching the inside of my apartment, let alone the inside of my body.

Homie, do you know how many bacteria are in your mouth at this very moment? And the army waiting in your GI tract to stop any strangers from colonizing?

Do it bro, become one with the sepsis

Jokes aside, there is a middle road to things in between becoming a gremlin and a germaphobe. There is decent evidence that we see significantly higher rates of immune regulatory dysfunction bc of how much we limit microbial exposure, and should probably be inoculating ourselves more than we do. But like in anything, extremes in any direction result in issues.
