  You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly?

  Yes, which is why you don’t need to go out of your way to get exposed to more.

    You’re worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

      Good metaphor, since the water balloon is separate from the waterfall and could be filled with anything.

        I mean, by definition a water balloon is filled with water.

  That’s how you build natural immunity.

  Not everything you’re infected with gives you benefits, there are a vast many transmissible infectious agents that can literally kill you. While the chances of licking your finger in a grocery store and getting something that bad are pretty slim, it does happen, and your “natural immunity” is working all the time anyway, you don’t need to DO anything to help it along, stop thinking you know better. If you’re annoyed with how other people handle their hygiene, how about be an adult and keep quiet.
