If you live in a sterilized environment, when you do catch a cold, or get a cut/splinter, you'll be knocked for a loop because you've deprived you body's defenses of the opportunity to develop antibodies to deal with everyday germs and viruses.
How many of us, and our kids have "eaten dirt" in our lives?
I'd rather deal with the sniffles or a (very) minor infection than end up dealing with pneumonia or a staff infection.
Note that the bacteria that causes staff infections LIVES ON OUR BODIES. You cannot get rid of it no matter how much or how many times you wash.

I feel sorry for those with OCD, because of what they end up dealing with as a result of the disorder.
