Spot on ! Also the advent of these ''anti bacterial'' products might foster new strains of germs (drug resistant) that our immune cells haven't dealt with can't be good in the long run unless our white blood cells/antibodies also mutate to deal with them.
Anyway i'm in awe of how our hunter gatherer immune cells (badasses) allowed us to survive some 1.8 million years as humans on the earth or even just for the last 70,000 years after the ''out of africa'' event to have inhabit and survive through out the entire earth and not had died out like homo neanderthal, homo hamblis, homo erectus, or homo ergaster human beings etc.
