      Definitely not, in fact, being a scientist makes you realise that you need to be exposed to a safe amount of bugs for a healthy immune system and a healthy gut.

      Not totally! But as a microbiologist I can imagine the bacteria and viruses allover us, so it’s more real!

      No, not at all, at least not in everyday life. In the laboratory one must obviously work clean and safe to not endanger ones self, the environment or others.
