    If people who have lived like that scaped the risk, good luck.
    People were living and sharing in the middle of TB outbreak/ and potato famine in Europe. I am sure some people, like those trolls, had come out that period of time to resist calls for Hygiene and TB risk. People (of Haemophilia for example) received blood transfusion (till recent years) without knowing the risk. They caught HIV and Hepatitis C. People everywhere used the glass syringes (boiled and resused). Decades later the origin of some serious diseases were related to those glass syringes eg Hepatitis B and C. Could someone come forward and argue "why do we need the disposable plastic syringe. We have used the glass ones and we are perfectly healthy".


    This is a hygiene and health matter ? NOT OCD


    I understand your point but if you're going to have that mindset then technically you can catch anything from anywhere not just a bath. Standing in a shower that other people stood in with open cuts etc/sitting on the same toilet/touching a door handle... the list is endless... if we're going down this road it's not only localized to sharing a bath.

    Understandable fully. very true.
    But why don't we do our best while keeping our minds as healthy as we can (not get into obsession).

    You still haven't told us what we might catch from the bath.
