My parents both grew up in India, and when they came to the United States, they did not understand why some many children had trouble breathing and were allergic to simple foods such as peanuts. Myself, I could not understand how they never heard of allergies or asthma when they were living in India. Now looking at the hygiene hypothesis and understanding that exposure to certain parasites is crucial to avoiding these illness, I finally understand why they never heard of these illnesses before. In India, and other developing countries, children are exposed to unsanitary conditions on a daily basis, and in the process were able to form the mechanism to avoid getting asthma and allergies. I believe that we should take into account the hygiene hypothesis and understand that a little dirt never really hurt anyone.

After doing research in Germany, Dr. Mutius found that children were less likely to suffer from allergies and asthma if they lived in a more polluted environment. Her experiment is supported by the hygiene hypothesis, because children actually need to live in less clean environments in order to have immune system stimulation. I feel like most parents who have children with asthma and allergies will keep their kids inside more often than kids who do not have allergies or asthma. The parents are fearful of an onset occurring. However, this is actually just preventing the children's immune system from learning to defend the child. The immune system has to have the chance to distinguish between actual pathogens and pollen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843951475946772548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490037155917753470.post-53695318984304884522014-02-25T21:38:26.876-05:002014-02-25T21:38:26.876-05:00I find it interesting that "The Art of Being ...I find it interesting that "The Art of Being a Parasite" claims that households that use antibacterial soap tend to experience the same amount of illness as those using regular soap. In my mind, I would think that they would experience fewer occurrences of illness. It's so ironic that a parasite, by definition, an organism that EXPLOITS, can actually IMPROVE the well-being of an organism. At the same time, I think we do have to ensure that a line is drawn. Americans are known to discover that benefits of something and overdose. The fact that these helminths are beneficial doesn't suggest that anyone should make it a daily routine to ingest parasites in an effort to ward off symptoms of illness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547607843164868764noreply@blogger.com
