The sickest people I know are the "clean freaks" who have auto sinks and auto soaps in their house, use that hand sanitizer every second of every day. Why? Because they're immune system is shit. It's never exposed to anything so it's never built up an immunity to anything. So when they are exposed to the slightest little bug they immediately get sick, and don't get over it quickly.

the best way to boost your immune system is through proper nutrition- that's why people's immune systems are generally shitty. when coming into contact with and catching a virus or bacteria, you will get sick and then develop a defense against that particular strain only. and that strain generally lasts one season before it mutates.
getting sick is not an effective strategy whatsoever to avoid getting sick.
