A further thought came to mind today… Away from germs and bacteria for a moment, What if I were to name something useful, that can actually be a Bontaminant or Contaminant…
Consider common salt… Even sea salt…
In mashed potato, and in small quantities, it is most definitely good, a Bontaminant. But if we were to put too much salt in, it ruins the flavour, and becomes a Contaminant. Before we had fridges, salt was used to preserve meat. Saline is remarkably good for our eyes…
Back to germs then. When we touch a door handle, just how much is transferred? A small amount, to strengthen ours, or indeed someone else’s immune system… Is there really enough to cause a problem, apart from in our thoughts?
Mmmmm…
