Way-out, Saturday party-time, plist-type open-ended question....grounded in Puritanism maybe?

Paranoia about cleanliness has risen to the point that sterile modern living can weaken people's immune systems 
 
 
I haven't read this article (yet), might not, since I've heard the claims before but encountering some relatives anew
with a 'paranoia about cleanliness" leads me to ask if demonizing dirt in the environment is one place Puritan-based
demonizing can go semi-repressively
, dya think?, ---when one is not demonizing others' characters or beliefs in our world---except as
they are clean freaks....
 
Your riffing appreciated......
