My friends and I are forging swords this summer; we have just made these plans official. One of my friends correctly predicted that as soon as they brought this up, I'd mention that I have knowledge pertaining to the topic. I did. I'm now in charge of designing a small firebrick forge and crafting a suitably incredible blend of crucible steel for our project.
I have ordered the felling of pines that I may coke the logs into charcoal to fire our furnaces. I'm looking for a source of iridium to alloy into our steel. I have already located a meteorite to use as a source of iron (not all the iron, obviously, but still). We'll need an arc furnace to charge the crucibles...

No one is making you eat right after giving the guy a high five.
I compulsively play with my mouth. It's bad habit, I know. But it happens.
I do similar things, I just have a stout immune system. Keep training it, the germs won't stand a chance!
I have the same problem, as well as a very bad biting habit. However thanks to my own stupidity to germs, my immune system has also become a titan to be feared. I would also say to keep bolstering your immune system, but habits of cleanliness work just as well.
Let's also remember I have an autoimmune problem where my immune system attacks my intestines. (And possibly also arthritis, yay! It runs in the family.) I'd rather it not get better at that.
