True, but, if I took every simple precaution I know of to prevent all of the unlikely but known conditions, I doubt I'd get anything done in a day. Or have much fun.

* Avoid cars.

* Wash hands after exposure to public transit and before touching one's face.

* Always wear sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

* Don't wear contact lenses.

* Wash hands after exposure to dust of any kind.

* Wear mask during moderately poor air condition (almost every day in SF Bay!)

* Don't swim in the south (killer amoebas)

* Don't breathe in the north-west (killer fungi)

* Don't walk in the north-east (insanity causing ticks).

* Drink out of only glass or stainless steel.

* Eat only fresh unprocessed foods.

* Never eat bacon or BBQ.

* Never drink alcohol.

* And definitely, never, ever, go to a hospital.

More recently: insanity and meat allergy causing ticks.

Well, you should have "avoid eating meat" on that safety list anyway, so that is almost helpful.
