Question, won't all this disinfecting weaken our immune systems?

and kill our gut flora
Miram · 31-35, F
Disinfecting constantly does have side effects. There is lot of research about how it affects nurses, from skin problems to developing allergies.

But right now risks from the virus are higher.

@Miram I still think people are overdoing it

@Jackaloftheazuresand Me too, it's going to be bad in the future with all the antibiotic-resistant diseases around. There's an article from a scientist, I forgot who, who warned that the common cold will one day kill us if we keep going.

If we kept doing it long term, then yes.. But if it's just for now, for this virus, then we still have our basic immune status.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
Yes, and in the future, with our antibiotic-resistant diseases we're going to be screwed.

That's why I been working on incorporating probiotic foods and prebiotic foods into my diet. I been wanting to do probiotic supplements but the research is up in the air, some doctors say it's completely useless because of stomach acid, others say that's a myth. But I been trying to incorporate some fermented foods added into my diet.

@SatanBurger I suppose there's always fecal transplant if those aren't good enough

Are you licking every thing or what?
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@YMITheWayIM Yes I lick everything like a reptile
YMITheWayIM · 46-50, M
@Jackaloftheazuresand And I like to sniff.

That’s a good question. It’s possible, I suppose. My main concern is wiping food packages with Lysol. I noticed the inside of a grain package had become wet, so there must be some porosity in these plastic coverings. I guess a trace amount of Lysol causes less damage than the Corona virus. At least, I hope so.

It is my opinion that it will.
