Mike,
On the autoimmune thing...I agree but want to add:
If you have a young child LIVING with you, your risk of viral infections is exponentially greater. Small humans in a contained, typically warm, environment for 40 hrs a week are little petrie dishes. TRUST ME, I have two of them..LOL. I can guarantee that if there is a virus in school that I will get sick with it, even if my son doesn't get it. He is in elementary school. We are a antibacterial, wash your hands conscience kind of family and have been a little maniacal about it for a few reasons.
Just wanted to give a little different perspective.
Take care!
Holly
