    I’m the type of person who touches everything, bites their nails, eats food from the floor and rarely washes their hands. I have zero food allergies and I’m almost never sick.

    Maybe I’m just lucky or maybe these are related. Who knows.

    EDIT: Don’t remember ever taking antibiotics either

      there is also a causation question. I’m similar to you, I don’t get sick much so I don’t have much reason to be obsessive about cleanliness (of course I am hygienic and practice normal food safety). but my wife gets sick often and that causes her to be extra super careful about foods she eats, cleaning, hand sanitizing, etc.
