"Or Martian sanitary science eliminated them years ago."

That, to me, seems quite a clever option. If Martians, being far more advanced 
than us, had eliminated hostile microrganisms in their own enviornment long 
before, it seems reaosnable to suspect they may no longer consider them 
terribly threatening. After all, we've virtually destroyed smallpox--We don't 
get shots for it anymore. Analogous complacency.

On the other hand, maybe there are standard Martian sterilization techniques 
that simply arne't effective on earthly germs. Their planet may be far colder 
than ours, for instance, and they assume temperatures of, say, 120 degrees F 
will kill anything living. Bad luck for them.
