I disagree. OP is not going to far. There’s no way they’re going to be completely shielded against bacteria in that house, so it’snot going to affect their immune system. They’re absolutely doing the right thing cleaning their phone and refusing to eat leftovers. Their parents have a serious problem and that place isn’t safe to live in.
