Our excessive fear of germs and anti-septic society has had an ill effect on our immune systems. It's the main suspect as one of the reasons for the explosion of a whole host of auto-immune disorders.
Maybe your fear of auto-immune disorders is the source of your irrational non-fear of germs... or something... 😛
