How clean should we be?

Now I've always been one to wash my hands everytime i go to the toilet be it whatever business i do and since i got ill really badly last year i put it down to either a sandwich or touching something and since then i have resorted to using the old antibacterial gel or washing hands when i can before eating food.

Now how far should we go i mean when you look thousands of years ago or even just over a 100 or so ago they didnt have the kind of substances we have now to keep clean but then again i know disease was rife but that was down to vermin wasn't it? or am i being ignorant (haven't really researched it).. But now you have commercials harping on all the time on tele about how powerful there bleach is or like dettol the handless soap dispenser and the list goes on...

Then again on the other side you hear from people that you shouldnt try to be so clean as when you do get sick at one time or another which i guess is inevitable it will be far worse due to the body's immune system not being utilised as much as it should?

Now in a perfect world if everyone were to be perfect when it came down to hygiene would a lot of diseases be non exsistent?
 
Maybe going off topic a little now and also hypothetical as well but colds for example if everyone in the world is confined to themselves and are not in touch with anyone else for the period that they have a cold would that eliminate the cold virus.
As i'm aware that there are around 200 types of viruses that creates a cold/flu etc (correct me if i'm wrong). Now i've heard from some that the cold/flu virus can never be cured due to that its constantly changing but my opinion on is that the large corporate organisations such as glaxosmithkline will not ever create a cure due to the revenue that they bring in from their products and also public institutes won't bother to invest in making a cure due to that it isn't a life threatening disease.

i hope i make sense getting tired been working on uni work all day..

You have a toilet for that, thats why. I'm assuming you have one?

I would hate to think someone in my house was doing that and i can't imagine that you would go to the effort of getting the bleach out each time you do your business in the shower as it would take time and you would just use the toilet. If its only you using the shower then thats up to you but i know i wouldnt like to get into the shower the next day knowing that there might be **** splattered over the walls of the shower its just unhygienic imo
