Probably living in filth for 6 days of the week builds that immunity.
Amish are some of the cleanest, nicest, safest, most skillful individuals on Earth. Take your loxism elsewhere.
LOL right. They're dirty as fuck because most of them only bathe once a week for church.
They stink to fucking high hell. Used to work in a store in Amish-land. September was "Lysol Season," you'd get one in on Saturday and they'd just stink to the point where it took your breath away. Then they had the audacity to argue with you over the sales tax because they felt like they shouldn't pay it.
Always hated running deliveries to Amish-only shops (that is, Amish run for Amish) because they'd play dumb and only speak Swiss German and act like you weren't there, and call you names. I know enough to know when I'm being called a nosy bastard. Fuck you you goddamn goatropers, if you don't want to sign for the stuff you ordered, I'll take it back to the shop and you can call my boss (at the time, my mother) and tell her why you wouldn't sign the clipboard, and why you wouldn't speak Anglish.
They are the cheapest bastards you ever saw. Family had yard sales for a few years where the entire family would participate. We learned quick to put the junk in a box and mark free on it, the Amish would take it all. You couldn't get a free coffee refill at the local McDonalds, that was because the older Amish that didn't work the fields would sit there all day and drink it.
Nicest is a joke. They're real nice to you when they're taking your money. They do everything they can to cheat the Anglish out of money, worse than fucking Jews. One of my neighbors bought a load of cut lumber from a local mill, it came all bundled up in banding. He made them stay while he cut the bands so he could make them take back the bad lumber in the middle, then they wanted to charge him more because he wasn't a "brother." He told the to fuck off. Not giving them money, they don't want to look at you and will call you a picky bastard.
Safe? Please, driving antique horse and buggies on roads where cars are going 55MPH isn't safe, they fought tooth and nail to not put the orange SLOW triangle on their buggies because it was ostentatious. The law finally won here, and most of them now have LED blinking lamps and/or slow moving signs on the back. It wasn't uncommon to hear of a car/buggy strike back home, including one moron Amish that pulled out in front of a truck, because he "thought he could beat it." Literally, that was the defense, it made news all over the county because it was just so fucking stupid.
Most of them except for the Old Order are fucking hypocrites. They'll drive vehicles and use iPhones (we call them electric amish) all day and then put them aside when they walk in the house. It's not uncommon to see them wandering along the back roads, drinking their buttermilk (and throwing the cartons on the side of the road, they're the most goddamn trashy people in the world,) and posting on Facebook. I don't use fecesbook but I have several friends who do, and most of them have a few Amish in their list.
You think Amish shit is wonderful, but I've seen more than one house built like crap missing things like structure and HVAC parts that made it unsafe. The only way I'll deal with one is through an English middleman, fuck dealing with those asses directly. Hope you don't live next to one, because they're pestering you to be a yodertoter all the time, at your expense.
So either you're being sarcastic or you really think they're God's People. They're really stinky jews that will curse at you and make furniture if you pay long time.
The only ones I know that are decent are the rumspringa jerkedovers, becuase they don't want to party like it's 1799 anymore.
tl;dr
I was in the army, been there done that, immunity now.
