Good Hygiene May Lead to Asthma and Allergies
Is good hygiene responsible for the skyrocketing rates of asthma and allergies in the Western world? Children these days aren't exposed to everyday germs like our ancestors were. Are we doing ourselves and our kids a disservice by keeping spotless homes and dousing and wiping everything with the slew of antibacterial products on the market today?
For decades, the incidence of allergies and autoimmune diseases in the Western world has been a scientific puzzle. As rates of asthma, hay fever and lupus have skyrocketed in industrial nations, the number of cases in less developed countries remains relatively low ... Many scientists have attributed this disparity to a seemingly unlikely cause—citizens of first-world countries are becoming too clean.
