Disinfection is not without reason

We want to raise our children in a sterile or at least believed environment so that they are exposed to as few pathogens as possible in the hope of avoiding disease. To this end, a number of cleaning agents are used. We have to ask the question, are the pathogens more dangerous or are the chemicals we use against them?

Most of us love the cleanliness around us, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s impeccable, bacteria-free. How come we don't clean well? Of course not! It’s just that our environment can’t and shouldn’t be completely sterile.

Inevitably designed to strengthen protection against viruses and other infectious agents in humans. The coronavirus epidemic was good for the turmoil in the world. We have ignored the company of people, but even of our own family members and friends. Hand disinfection and mask wearing have become completely commonplace. Washing your hands is no longer necessary, so we used strong chemicals to get rid of anything that could affect our health with one blow. We also disinfected our home with chemicals.

Strong agents are worth using in rubber gloves and with ventilation, but at a time when the skin-drying but pathogen-killing agent used to control Covid several times a day has made even more sense. This is how we have lived so far, but we do not have to do it all the time, because it can hurt ourselves.

We try to create a sterile, risk-free environment around us, except that life is not so clean. It doesn't even have to be that. It is only natural to wash your hands after using the toilet, this is an essential element of our personal hygiene. That is why let us trust that this is exactly the case with others. We look at the toilet as a room full of pathogens. We think less of our own, but the public restroom, like an infectious. Assuming that everyone washes their hands after using the toilet, there is no need to fear infection.

We also do no good by disinfecting the bath and sink daily. Because it is used daily and running water reaches this area, we can still get rid of any pathogens. That's clean enough.
