Maybe this is a cultural thing, but the idea of a solid food hitting the floor and it suddenly being off-limits is alien to me. I was taking a pill for pain this morning. I dropped it on the floor and picked it up and swallowed it with water anyways, and a classmate I was with had this reaction like I had just eaten a worm. Does it supposedly cause illness or bad luck, because I’ve never gotten any in all my years…

    I’ll eat a meatball that I drop on my floor without any issues, as long as anyone doesn’t see me.

    A little bit of germs are good for you, I bite my nails so I put my “dirty” fingers that touched all kinds of surfaces in my mouth all the time.

    I never get sick, people around me will get sick all the time and I would maybe get s stuffy nose or light headache
