Understand?

My point is, if even a few of those bacteria being breathed in were completely foreign, you would die.

Take this statement, what he says is true. Remember when Europeans came to North America? They brought smallpox among other things and killed a lot of Native Americans, the Europeans had immunities to them. Now if some form of a virus/bacteria wasn't on all continents, we'd get deathly sick when we traveled out of our country, or city, or state, or providence, or whatever you want to choose.
