[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought science had concluded that it's because our homes are too clean. Kids no longer roll around in the dirt with the dogs (for example) to the detriment of their immune systems[/quote] It's far from conclusive, as I understand it, but one theory is that society as a whole has less exposure to things that build immune systems, not that individual houses are too clean. My kid's immune condition wasn't peanut allergies, but you'd be amazed at how many people implied that it was my fault because I kept my house too clean (note: I started keeping my house that clean after my kid developed the illness whose treatment made him immunocompromised) or because they assumed he wasn't breastfed.
