From good hygiene comes bad allergies...

Full story here.

I could not agree more with this article. I've always been one to let my body battle out whatever was bothering it. I RARELY get sick. When I do, it's usually from me getting 3 hours of sleep for 3 or more days in a row. I really wish the industry would stop selling anti-bacterial this and that. We need to be exposed to a certain amount!

so fricking true... if you get sick a lot, you didn't eat enough dirt as a kid, and you use the hand sanitizer tooo much.

duh...

like the study that found out kids who grew up with pets in the home were less likely to have allergies later in life. pre-stress the system...

I fully agree as well. Our bodies are made to adapt and build resistance to different germs but if we don't give them a chance, then we pay for it later in life.

Especially bad for spreading germs as well b/c what a normal person w/ good immunity could fight off in a couple minutes (not giving the germs time to get stronger or mutate) would be in an incubator/hospitable environment in a weakend immunity person and will spread...does that make sense?

Not for nothing but there is a certain manager in our office that is so over the top with hand sanatizers and vitamins and other assorted crap it makes me want to scream. The guy simpl cannot walk by one of those dispensers without going crazy....and then he looks at me like I am nuts when i don't simply LATHER UP in the shit.

No thanks.

Well, I will have to agree that vitamins are essential to keeping the body in good working order. If you don't think you need vitamins, you are kidding yourself.

Again I qoute the wise sage Carlin:

George Carlin wrote:Let me tell you a true story about immunization ok. When I was a little boy in New York city in the nineteen-forties, we swam in the Hudson river. And it was filled with raw sewage! OK? We swam in raw sewage, you know, to cool off. And at that time the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids died from polio every year. But you know something? In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one! EVER! You know why? Cause WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune system, the polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw shit!
