[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1920313, member: 42691"] I can't remember where I heard it--news report, science podcast, somewhere--but it said researchers or scientists believe our obsession with sanitizers, and keeping kids as germ free as possible has had unintended consequences with diseases and allergies. We are meant to get bacteria on us so we can build up immunity to a lot of diseases. Kids are meant to get dirty, not covered in Purell. It makes sense. They say kids delivered by C-section tend to get sicker than traditional births because of the bacteria in the birth canal that gets passed from the mother to child. I'm 49 and never heard of peanut allergies until 20 to 30 years ago. The warnings on food labels are about the same age--maybe younger. My guess is our peanut boy had a Mom who was afraid to let him play with others and in the dirt. Now the poor bastard doesn't know the joy of a PB&J. What a shame... [/QUOTE]
