Not quite - the immune system actually becomes over-sensitive, which is thought to be linked to allergies later in life. Minor childhood illnesses teach the immune system to regulate itself, so for the majority of responses, it doesn't cause any noticeable effect to the person. Only for significant responses do you see symptoms.
Of course, if the immune system is over-sensitive, you see flu-like symptoms in response to otherwise harmless chemicals, much in the same way as an allergy (as it is one).

Does that mean I don't have to have a shower with soap any more? Rejoice!

There are unimaginable health risk in many other areas of concern like  air we breathe,water that we drink and the food that we eat. And they are worried about manganese level in water they bathe in What should be done with these guys?
* shine imagines all funny stuffs to do.....

Bathing depends on the climate in your areas....I'm from a part of the world  were we have atleast two baths daily...not kidding. And I do not know a place to compare with that... This could be due to the tropical climate and the plentiness of water resources.. To be frank I take bath atleast once a day..

Imagine an icelander bathing daily so it depnds on the climate and the environment you live in.

who needs sanitry, it's just cause people don't wanna smell funny. u can survive just fine without washing. u'd soon get imune to nasty stuff.

how about, smoking in beer-shower while chewing on a bigmac. yummy. ART.
