At 82, I’m completely at home with bacteria | Brief letters

The article discusses several topics, including the presence of bacteria in homes, sleeping during heatwaves, and other miscellaneous items. The key points are: 1. An 82-year-old man, Owen Wells, argues that he has lived a long and healthy life without overly sterilizing his home. He questions the need to sterilize every surface, as humans have coexisted with bacteria for millennia. 2. Adrian Chiles' suggestion of keeping pajamas in the freezer to stay cool during a heatwave is recommended by Liz Taylor as an "old Australian trick" that can provide relief. The article is a collection of brief letters responding to previous Guardian articles, providing personal perspectives and suggestions on the topics discussed.
