Germophobia (and I did not say "germanophobia"
) is indeed a common disease in many advanced countries where people fail to realize that our body comprise actually more germs than human cells, an overwhelming percentage of those germs being actually useful, not harmful.
"Useful" means that many of those inocuous germs are actually fighting harmful ones — this is why antibiotics should only be used in case of severe problems, and disinfectants are causing more skin problems than they solve — thrush / mycosis, and even infections when our usual, good skin germs are not here anymore to defend us.
Now a shower is not a disinfectant, and, although sweat is neither dirty nor smelly when emitted, it will degrade within hours to form unwanted by-products...
