Does trying to live healthy make sense considering an imminent bird flu outbreak?

[FlatAssembler]

It would be hard to imagine how my vegetarian friends managed to catch fewer germs in their lives, particularly with all the growing up drinking from the same cups playing in the same pools shaking the same hands and just generally breathing the same air, though, I suppose it could happen.

I've never known vegetarians to be a particularly hygenic bunch in any traditional sense, but that's probably down to the few vegetarians I know being back to the land types.  Convinced that detergents, disinfectants, deoderants, and even showering itself..are ruining the planet.

And what exactly do you think could cause weaker immune system in vegetarians? Lysine deficiency? Seems rather implausible. It is obvious what could cause stronger, if nothing else, then lower rates of Vitamin C deficiency.

You realize the same is true for masks, if not even more so, right?
Hygiene is an obvious other factor here.

Not according to the paper you have not read.

Can you link to it?
