why being too clean is a problem?

Why is the cleanest era in human history seeing a massive explosion in allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases? Since the 1990s, child food allergies have jumped by nearly 50%, and peanut allergies have more than tripled. The reason isn't that our immune systems are getting weaker—it's that they are getting bored. In this video, we break down the science behind the Hygiene Hypothesis and the "Old Friends" Hypothesis. Discover how sanitizing every surface, early antibiotic exposure, C-sections, and a lack of contact with soil and animals are confusing our bodies into attacking harmless pollen, food, and even our own healthy tissue. 📚 SCIENTIFIC SOURCES & PROOFS CITED: • David Strachan (1989) – Hay fever, hygiene, and household size (BMJ) • Stein et al.
