I have an autoimmune disorder (in remission now thankfully) and I would be more concerned with what I eat than germs. I went through the paranoid phase when my daughter was born but got real when my boyfriend and both our families reminded us of our own upbringings which were not sterile environments. Even more importantly, unless you want your child never to move an inch, they will touch and lick whatever they want to! It's life! I have to say I agree.

It definitely made me feel better about that banana that fell on the floor yesterday and then went into Izzy's mouth. :) I read the same article.

I'm also very rarely sick, and so are my children (althought they are growing up in a city apartment)!

I'm not obsessed with cleaning .....and no allergies so far. but my children are often sick!!!! apparently the big rise in allergies is not only due to pollution in the air but also to the fact that we now live in environments that are too clean.

I reckon it is impossible to keep small kids away from mud and dirt, my kids are also very rarely sick (knock on wood), so I think we are going to continue being relaxed...

I only had one bite before never trusting my sister again . . . but perhaps it was for my health . . . :) I’ll have to thank my sister for telling me when I was little that they are called ‘mud pies’ because they taste good.

Mud everywhere including in their mouths, it's healthy for them and good fun! My husband who is a surgeon is always telling me that it's good for kids to get dirty, Kids in germ free bubbles I'm sure will suffer later in life!
