[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1663245, member: 12578"] I don't think it is a brilliant idea, unless you have a problem that means your immune system is severely compromised and you need to protect yourself .If your body doesn't encounter viruses, infections and bacteria at normal/low levels then it may not be able to cope when it does encounter them. I suggest (not going to search for evidence) that people who work with children (that is personal experience. snotty noses, and unwashed hands, always some bug going around) and in hospitals tend to be less likely to be struck down with common viruses. If you never encounter them, then you won't develop resistance [/QUOTE]
