  Strengthens your immune system. Without exposure (playing in mud, touching other people), we are only weaker.

  Bio life is really complicated.

  Sterilization works well only to a certain degree, before becoming damaging, e.g. causing resistance.

  Somewhat related, here is an interesting visualization of bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics.

  Its shocking really. But the bigger problem is how do you know what germs you are exposed to? Germs are everywhere
