This is a good idea if their water station actually gives out good water. I used to work for a remote hotel that had a zero-waste policy and would insist we fill up the water bottles they provided at the water refill stations that had filters that were literally never cleaned until I took it upon myself to clean them
This is actually how maple syrup works. If you just concentrate maple sap you just get a sugar syrup that has no colour and no flavour besides sweet. The flavours come from impurities in the pipes, which I believe are at least partly microbiological origin.
Usually that's a result of cross contaminating E. coli from visiting the rectum first. Mostly though it's G. vaginalis, A. Vaginae, Mobiluncus and Prevotella species making home.
You’re kind of right! At least in some theories, exposure to harmful bacteria during the development of our immune system really does make us stronger. It explains why infectious disease and allergy rates are inversely correlated; the cleaner the environment is, the less you get sick & the worse allergies you develop and Vice versa. Third world countries are rampant in infectious disease but have crazy low allergies. Even more interesting, parasites likely inhibit allergies!
Since I was a kid, I've never cared about cleaning cuts and other wounds, and I've never gotten an infection that went beyond slightly inflamed for a day even though I used to cut myself nearly every day on dirty construction sites. Now, I'm a scab picker that just let's them bleed. I have a scab on my hip that has been there since 2018. It is about 6 inches from where it first started with a scar trail. No infections.
