Man Flu!

Sending them to play in the dirt outside is also good for them (no joke).

And you have how many kids?

BTW, make sure the Mrs see's this so she knows what to do

I think you just did.

Thanks.

We're all God's children.

We don't get ill in my family. 5k runs, squash twice a week, no caffeine, no alcohol, low salt. French naturist holidays for the whole family, It's all about looking after yourself.

FTFY

It's pretty well known. Those who play outside as kids have robust immune systems, those who live cossetted indoor lives end up with allergies and a constant cold.

Nope. It is never God's will for anyone to be ill.

I'm not so sure, I think he does it to Suity sometimes, just for a laugh

It makes me feel dirty to type, but WHS.

It's believed that the increase in asthma over the years is down to the use of bleach and cleaning products in the home. All of this constant killing of the bacteria, cleaning the loos, hands etc is laying our kids open to infections. A little dirt is good for you.

Anyway, that's the excuse I use to the wife for not putting cups in the dishwater or flushing the loo.

Pets are also supposed to be good for kids' immune systems. Although child making sandcastles in the cat litter tray was pushing it even by my (very slovenly) standards.

Asthma can either be an over-reaction to foreign bodies or a natural reaction to bacteria and virus.

Once asthmatic suffers get out in the country, the symptoms usually disappear.

Having a mild dose of bacteria will not prevent anyone from getting a dose of the same and falling ill later in life. An African friend of mine quite rightly pointed out that hygiene in the UK is appalling and if we had the same climate as Central Africa; the lack of hygiene would result in epidemics.
