You've missed my point entirely. Over the past 20-30 years, I've seen more and more parents attempt to shield their children from all things harmful, including germs. If parents hadn't gotten so bloody paranoid about their kids getting dirty, I don't think we'd see half the allergies we do today. Parents haven't done their kids any favors at all in this regard. When I was growing up, I can't ever recall someone having an allergy to peanuts. Not one.
