there is also a causation question. I'm similar to you, I don't get sick much so I don't have much reason to be obsessive about cleanliness (of course I am hygienic and practice normal food safety). but my wife gets sick often and that causes her to be extra super careful about foods she eats, cleaning, hand sanitizing, etc.
