after i switched to washing my hands with antibacterial soap (the orange kind they use in hospitals), i've gone from a bimonthly cold-analog disease to maybe being sick twice a year

If you're getting colds that often (and you're not immuno-compromised) then it might be worth getting checked out.

I was getting sick constantly, and it turned out I had chronic sinusitis, and surgery made it much much better.

(Just friendly advice, I know nothing about your situation).

Washing your hands is not only about your own health, it is also about other people's health.

Maybe you could get the same quality of life improvement without decreasing other's.
