Actually Pitbull, the current theory is that the problems are occurring because we have nearly eliminated internal parasites. Seems that the internal parasites produced a variety of chemicals that suppressed the human immune/allergy reaction - we evolved so that we needed the bugs pumping out their chemicals & now that we go rid of the bugs our immune & allergy systems are going berserk.

I have had one friend die as a result of his immune system turning on his body.

As an example: Current 'therapy' for 'Chrone's Disease' is to administer a dose of pig 'whip worm' eggs every month or so - the worms hatch & live but can't reproduce in the human body, and the chemicals they secrete are close enough to fool the human immune system, giving a few months relief.


So, let the kids play in the dirt on a visit to the country/farm - it is good for them.
