I had a friend when I was growing up whose mother was a germ freak. When they went to a hotel, she sprayed lysol on every surface. She would not let him sleep in a bed until the sheets has been individually sprayed. And she only let him eat food that she had seen prepared, to make sure it was hygienic. And he was sick all the time. By comparison, other friends who followed the "5 second rule" with food on the floor, and lived in a level of chaos that would send some homemakers into a coma, were hale, healthy, and active. I always wondered what was the cause and what was the effect. New studies seem to be showing that exposure to dirt actually makes kids more resistant to future illness.
My mother always said a little dirt was good for us. It seems (as usual) that she was right.
