Living in a sterile environment isn't always healthy, especially as most of the environment you live in, isn't sterile by a long shot...
How is your body supposed to develop antibodies and build up an immunity, if it is never exposed to anything germy? You know, just like in War of the Worlds, how the aliens were defeated because of exposure to a human virus they weren't prepared for.

Do you suppose they could develop a vaccine for lead? Something to think about... well, probably not. I guess a poison is a little different from bacteria. And then people don't seem to be fond of vaccinations anymore, like there is some sinister plot behind them. I'm not saying there is or there isn't....
