Important distinction in that real answer. I’m immunocompromised and take no chances with stuff like this, its also not something they REALLY specified in my talks before leaving the hospital.
One example is that since I told them I don’t smoke weed, they didn’t bother to tell me to avoid THC altogether because it interferes with the medicine I take. Thankfully, it was never an issue, but what if I decided to try some edibles or something?
That’s fine but for most normal people exposure to pathogens actually strengthens their immune system. Children of germaphobes are much more likely to have immune issues and allergies
Being fine for normal people is sort of the point I was making, MOST advice for stuff like this comes with the assumption that you have an normal immune system. I don’t expect everything to have a little aside for people like me, but I appreciate it when I see it because learning the hard way isn’t a very fun option.

“Stay away from pathogens and you’ll be alright”
“Well how do I …”
“Next!”
