Reply #6: Germ-phobic people sometimes are not all that healthy

[SoCalDem]

Especially children should be exposed to the run-of-the-mill germs in society.

My boys played outside in the dirt, we had pets, (and dust-bunnies under the furniture too)..no allergies..

Modernity has assaulted our bodies with all kinds of chemicals , and no one can predict how each person will react, so I'm not surprised that allergies are on the increase.

people are also more inclined to TREAT those allergies.. Back in my childhood, if one had hay-fever, they just bought more kleenex:)..and if you broke out in hives after you ate something, you just didn't eat THAT anymore:)
