Answer 1

Your probably passing mega germs to others... I hope you wash your hands  after using the bathroom....

Answer 3

u have got crazy this way u r not only making yourself dirty and sick but it may also affect other people. and thios is your biggest missunderstanding that this will improve your immunity system this will rather make you ill and full of bacteria

Answer 4

No I think its disgusting and filthy, and you must not have a working shower. Plus, you are more likely to get staff or aids by leaving a wound open....which could lead to gangrene and also you might have to get that area of the body amputated. So please, clean up( take a shower), cover your wounds and clean them, and eat off of clean surfaces. Trust me, you'll live longer and feel better!

Answer 5

Actually, there are several studies that suggest your presumption is true.  It's also possible that you have an extraordinary immune system that you genetically inherited.  Keep in my mind, the immune systems of ALL humans slowly deteriorate with age, so you may be testing your luck, further down the road?  For now though, whatever floats your boat, eh?

Answer 6

I was taught in school to keep your hands washed and have good hygiene. Eatting off dirty plates is not sanitary, you could catch E coli or salmonella. But an open wound does need air.
