There’s bacteria everywhere in the West too, and people who move out of the tropics tend to have a lot of respiratory issues in the new environment.
Sanitary standards are lower, and particularly improper disposal of human waste is a massive problem in the third world, but unless you work in semiconductors or at NASA there’s no such thing as perfectly clean. Let’s not be snooty.

Maybe not for them, technically they have adapted and overcome. They might even be thriving despite of it…
