20 years ago, we didn't know how germy surfaces were. We just touched them and picked up the germs, and then our bodies produced antibodies to fight them. Now that we are so scared of germs, we are trying to kill them all with these stupid antibacterial handwipes, soaps, sprays, and lotions. Guess what this does? (Remember Darwin's Law?) It makes the germs that survive reproduce, and suddenly our world is populated with resistant strains of bacteria. Suddenly people are contracting life-threatening resistant staph in common places.

Germs have always been around. We just didn't know it, or didn't think about it. People need to relax and stop trying to make their kids live in a bubble. Wash often with soap and water, sure. Just don't oversanitize everything!
