<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1414101, member: 15199&quot;]Maybe stretching the thread boundaries a little, but the journals have had several peer reviewed medical papers that seem to indicate we may be overdoing it in use of sanitizers and antibiotics vs. increase in allergies and allergic based diseases. If you get to a magazine rack or library, look at the last page of the May 2012 Discover magazine ( my favorite for most non-science people). It seems that over the years, our immune system which was highly evolved to protect us from foreign antigens have started to attack more often our internal proteins as &quot;antigens&quot;. In 2004 lab Mice were injected with parasites, and their immune systems stopped attacking food proteins ( food allergies) as they were too busy with the parasites . And here is the ugly part <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> A British citizen, James Lawrence went to Cameroon in 2007 and walked barefoot near some latrines to pickup hookworms through his feet. He did , and it cured his asthma and normal seasonal allergies. He tried to sell the hookworms world wide ( Not is US due to FDA) but it was hard to harvest and ship them ( a reported $3000 for 35 worms. Tick bites can induce an allergy to animal meat/products, so good luck as a vegetarian. It is very informative reading although you may be scratching your skin after reading.. </p><p>Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Don&#039;t read the top copy, remember someone may have handled it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
