Did you read the news story about the man who got licked by a dog and had to have his arms and legs amputated? So obviously "bad bugs" (microbes, bacteria, germs) can cause diseases.
Do "bad bugs" also cause gum disease, tooth loss and all kinds of other health challenges and even death?
Are you taking any special precautions?

@1hopefulman Never thought about it, but as a rule I never get too close to animals - except the stuffed ones.

I think we can increase our immunity by living healthy, eating right nutrition and keeping clean and avoiding things that can harm our health. What more can we do?

Yes, there are germs everywhere. But not all germs are the same. Some are even beneficial. We need to use some common sense and be aware of potential dangers.

@Susan2015 We have to find ways to keep them under control so that our body is strong enough to deal with them.

that's right. The recommendation I can give to you is wash your hands before you eat or prepare food, after moving garbage, after playing with your dog or pet and when you come from the streets, cause we always touch dirty things out there.

It is hard to know how true is all that is presented on YouTube.
I do know that iodine is an important trace mineral. I am going to eat some nori every day from now on which is supposed to contain that trace mineral and will keep reading information on it.

That is the first time I came across such a story. I will be more careful and cautious in the future.

Maybe the environment is changing for the worse in ways that we didn't realize.

I've read this article a couple of days ago.
That dog has nasty bugs.I wonder how's the dog been.Is it still alive?
If it has been carrying the virus/germs/ bacteria, whatever you call them, the dog should be in bad shape too.Right?

Have you ever gone to a dentist who looks at your blood under a microscope?
