 If you hate house-work, here is one tip you’ll like. A less tidy home may be better for your kids health. Doctors say that exposure early in life to a very clean environment (low on dust and various bacterial and fungal toxins) may play a role. Here's the theory: The newborn immune system is tolerant and non-allergic to most anything. When it is exposed to the usual allergy-causing antigens (such as dust and mold and dogs and cats), the immune system and allergens become lifelong buddies: a long-lasting acceptance and tolerance between them develops. So sloppy parents of the world stand tall! Your kids may have fewer allergies than those of your hyper-sanitary peers!
