The US has relatively low levels of food borne diseases. It was an example.
Also parasites, like hookworm:
https://www.healthline.com/health/whipworm-infection#prevention
Up to a quarter of a billion people are infected worldwide, in large part due to poor hygiene.
Then there's round worm, likely a billion people infected globally. Once again, due to poor sanitation and hygiene aka handwashing.
But hey, you do you.
Just know that at this point you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass then lick it. It's fundamentally not that different to not caring about washing off shit particles before eating food.
Mate people are eating a different strangers ass each week. These people never get sick because it builds up the immune system
As mentioned above, people get sick in large numbers, and many die.
You can't 'build up your immune system' by eating literal shit.
You can't prevent cholera or a parasitic infection by licking toilet seats either.
I mean, seriously. Don't believe me, go eat an actual turd. See how you feel.
Look at the difference in sick days between a construction worker and an office workers. Spending your whole life trying to avoid germs is a futile battle.
