Re: Educate Your Immune System
#2Nice little article! And it confirms my anecdotal evidence, so it feels good. ;)
I had a wild childhood: it happened to me to eat hamster food from his cage, eating dirt, eating sand, raw tomatoes directly from the plant, drinking waters from random streams; drinking raw milk without boiling it few minutes after milking it by hand, eating raw eggs, and when I wasn't in school, like during the summer, I had one shower per week, or less...
Don't worry: growing up I am back to civilization. But I have to say that I am never sick. Also during winter.
I pity all those kids and their urban childhood, they will have to endure weird intolerance to random things. I am grateful to my parents.
Back then growing children was still a simple thing, nowadays mothers and fathers are so scared by society.

Let's not forget that the reason people get sick is because they are infected. Increasing population density will clearly lead to more transmissions, especially in cities.

Actually, TFA makes the case that people living in developed societies are not infected early enough in life, which makes their immune systems vulnerable in the long run.

Lets not also forget how allergies are more common in the developed world and particularly in children living in the cities who don't generally get a lot of outside play time.
