would he really be able to sit out in the sun like that? I would think sweating would be a no-no. and you sure would sweat, sitting incased in plastic in the sun.
also- he had a 'germ free mouse'? if mice could be made germ free, why couldn't a person be sanitized enough for a visit?

Please, let's not pick this film's inaccuracies apart. The filmmakers did their best, but it's impossible to be perfect in this type of situation.

Can you get germs or become sick from sweating?

Germs I don't know about, but yes, you can get sick from sweating. It's not really the sweating itself that you get sick from, but not cooling off properly afterward. I don't know all that is involved in what does what, but yes, you can.

I'm no expert, but I would assume that you could sanitize a person for a visit, but it would take so long it wouldn't be worth it.
Plus, the mouse might not have actually been germ free; remember it was in that tube the whole time.
