Before anyone jumps down my throat about not being an expert, I am asking because I genuinely want to learn. I always thought (because I was told), that your immune system gets stronger by being exposed to germs. I thought exercise, eating veggies, letting kids play in dirt, were all factors? Now its avoid everything at all costs. If we have kids soon, do doctors recommend keeping them as sanitised as possible? Again, I am seriously not being facetious. It just seems that we have drastically changed our thinking over the last few months.
