Looking back, I was being rude, and for that I apologize.

Chase – no need to be rude about it, a helpful correction would have been OK; that line came from EcoChildsPlay post about bacteria entering the home- I am not a biologist. But taking shoes off can keep dirt, lead, other toxic chemicals, bacteria & viruses out of your house.

Shaggy – I agree with you 100%, and that’s why I preach to people to not use bleach and sanitizers to clean their house and selves! (psst – I dont get sick much either)

Y’know, exposing one’s self to a multitude of bacteria actually helps to create a powerful immune system, whereas a sterile environment only hampers it.

I was raised with just that information in mind, and I rarely get sick enough to warrant staying home from diseases that most other people I attend school with are practically incapacitated by.

You say that 27% of the bacteria are the E. coli virus. A bacterium isn’t a virus. It’s a bacterium. And if you want to prevent E. coli from entering your home, you’re going to have to rip out your guts, because it lives there too, helping you get vitamins from your food. Honestly…
