they should play with worms, and toads, and dirt, and plants in the woods, and this will make their chances of getting an allergy drop dramatically, yes.
Wow. I never knew there was a correlation. I guess this explains why I don't have a single allergy. I was outdoors more often than not and usually getting my hands dirty. I was a damn salamander, frog, and garter snake catching machine.
No this is actually true. One doc does nothing but cure kids of allergies by making them play in dirt.
Black dirt is what ya want. Not sand...good rich EARTH full of all those naughty naughty microbes.
You dont gotta go full on eating raw chicken or nothing. But getting a little dirty from time to time is what your SUPPOSED to do.
Premie infants are handled now with gloves or any barrier by nurses. Because they HAVE to be exposed to harmful pathogens or their fucking immune system never turns on and they die.
This was discovered by a nurse who was tending premies and back then life expectancies were TERRIBLE. She got sick of them having no human contact in their short existences(it was thought they should be in complete sterilized isolation in an attempt to simulate the womb) and said "fuck it they won't die without HUGS GOD DAMNIT! They should at least get those!"
Turns out the fucking hugs saved em lol...Then they studied WHY and figured out it's the immune system thing. Also, might be some pyschological factors "losing the will to live". We are not meant to be alone.
They should get in the dirt. so natural. get exposed to all the bacteria and virus imaginable so the immune system gets strong. I was just wondering about worms in particular, but nvm
"my immune system cant fight off the debilitated viruses of the flu, so im gonna let someone in a lab coat inject me with the debilitated flu virus so as to generally avoid suffering the effects of the flu season and can spread the flu less."
A study published in Human & Environmental Toxicology found that mercury-laced flu vaccines caused a 4,250 percent increase in fetal deaths during the 2009 flu season.

i am not surprised by this result at all. same phenomena as kids not playing with dirt and worms leading to higher allergy rates
getting a flu shot is saying "my immune system cant fight off random viruses, so im gonna let someone in a lab coat inject me with strange viruses"

Vaccines are the same principle as playing with dirt. Your immune system can only effectively fight ofg things its been exposed to already.
Btw cholesterol is very important for the immune "memory". Eat some eggs!

dirt doesnt have mercury in it though.

Hope you dont eat tuna or shrimp if youre scared of a little mercury.

are you daft or do i have to explain this to you
allergies are an immune system freaking out at something innocent
the dirt and worms DO have bacteria and viruses on them. exposure = immune system training.
no immune system training = hyperactive immune system = allergies.

do worms have more viruses and bacteria than other bugs? why do you turn hostile?
0fsgivin ago
Same reason I do. Isolation probably. Being smart enough to realize everythings shit but not smart enough to think of a solution.
And the drinking.

flus dont kill too many people though, so this whole yearly shot seems unnecessary at best

They kill people who are being artificially kept alive past their due date.

It says there's a study, then doesn't cite it.
