Curious too on how this may relate to allergies.
Indoor activities have become so much more engrossing over the last 10-15 years. All that time spent inside in front of a TV/computer/tablet screen isn't as valuable to a developing immune system as the occasional eating of dirt or mosquito bite.
- memonkey 11y agoNot only allergies but I also wonder about air quality in general.
- foobarge 11y agoI think it does. People raised on farms have less allergies than the rest of the general population [citation needed but I'm lazy] Kids need to play outside, in the dirt, interact with live animals and other kids and be exposed to a lot of different food when they're young and later on in life as well.
- brational 11y agoThere's many studies that support that hypothesis though it tends to be in the 0-5 age range.
