And I was fortunate to grow up playing in dirt and mud and general filth (outdoors) and have not taken or needed any antibiotics for years.

Ha! Me too. We had a large backyard and I used to help my folks with the vegetable garden, too.

I read recently that an earlier advisory telling parents to avoid exposing their toddlers to peanut butter was in fact unwise, because it’s been connected to the surprisingly common peanut allergy that many young people have. Turns out not exposing your kids to peanuts early on deprives them of whatever biochemistry they need to deal with the stuff, leading to violent, even life threatening problems when they’re older.

However, this advice does not cross over well to the current fad of chickenpox and measles parties the anti-vaxxers promote, because those are serious diseases.
