Where can I get a sign for my house that says "A sterile environment does more harm than good"? I need one for my front door

Yeah, good article baby. Kids are getting sick more because they have been dunked in hand sanitizer and use antibacterial soap. Not only preventing their immune system from having opportunities to work on small insignificant infections but disrupting the skin microbiome.

also i cannot remember but one of the ingredients in these soaps disrupts hormones somehow.

We are not meant to be germ free. We are supposed to have a healthy good bacteria covering us. Now i am not saying dunk your hands in a urinal after a Kevin Hart show. But for God's sake just be clean, not sterile.
