Children are too clean or allergic

Doctor Marc McMorris, pediatric allergy specialist at Michigan Medical System University, explains:

"We create an increasingly clean lifestyle, houses are always disinfected, hands are washed with antiseptic soap so the body has long no longer needed to fight against germs. The results, when they are We grew up with an immune system that has not been "trained" to identify external factors that have become confusing when encountering these substances and turn to allergic tendencies. "

According to a survey from 1988-1994, more than 50% of Americans aged 6-59 were sensitive to at least one allergen. Compared to the proportion of Americans with allergies between 1976-1980, this figure is five times higher. There is more evidence to prove that being a little dirty is much healthier.

For example, German scientists found that children living in cattle farms are less likely to have Crohn's allergy than children who never interact with pets. A 2002 study in the United States also found that children living in a home with few dogs and cats in the early years of life will be less likely to develop allergies.
