Oh The Hype!

in the early morning on Friday, the 23rd of May 2008 by Chad

Serious question here: does anyone actually buy those “billions of bacteria on your kids hands” commercials?

I mean seriously, unless you bathe in pure sulfuric acid, you cannot get rid of bacteria (most of which is beneficial) on your body.

Your kids are not surgeons. They need to be exposed to bacteria and viruses, or else you’re looking at them living life with extreme allergies to just about everything. And probably make them neurotic as Seinfeld too.

Sure give your kids baths every few days. Don’t let them play with the leper down the street either. That’s about the limit of what you should do.

But please all this anti-bacterial stuff is just going way overboard. Commercials like that just bug the hell outta me.

Well, I’ll never be accused of having overly clean children. Oh, they clean up nice, but that is a “front” for the public. When we’re home, we often are caught with inches of mud on our shoes, hands that are caked from the mud pies, etc. The “five-second-rule” is frequently broken and time added.

Didn’t our grandparents believe that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger? Well, underexposure to normal bacterias probably weakens the child’s system. This might be the reason for the increasing incidence of allergies, and even fatal allergies.

And honestly, which one of us actually washed our hands before every meal (especially if mom turned her back), would we have ever turned our nose up at the chocolate chip cookie that was found on the floor, and who didn’t have an opinion about which cookie’s batter tasted the best - even if raw eggs were involved? And here we are, still standing…
