Modern - day children are much cleaner than they should be, say Dr. John Gilbert and Rob Knight, the authors of the book “Paspasteria are useful: Bacterial advantages in developing the child's immune system.
The authors explain that uncleanness and bacteria are the ones that protect us from disease.
Trying to live as clean as possible, we're just weakening our immune system. Some of the most popular hypotheses about cleanliness are emphasized in the book. According to these hypotheses, exposure to bacteria and microorganisms in childhood is said to be good for us because it helps us develop our immune system.
It is also said that cases of eczema, asthma, and diabetes in childhood have increased in children who rarely become muddy or play with animals. Unless exposed from childhood to uncleanness and bacteria, the immune system does not know how to protect itself against dust and air pollution. /Daily Mail.
