Why Being “Too Clean” Might Be Hurting Your Kids
00:00:00.000 | So when I see the parents hand sanitizer on the tray and all of that, I don't know what's
00:00:04.880 | going on with that kid.
00:00:05.540 | That kid could have a very serious immune deficiency syndrome or some other reason, but most of
00:00:10.200 | the time it's a terrible idea because the kid is not catching Ebola from the tray.
00:00:15.740 | And what we have, what we clearly know now is that being too clean is worse than being
00:00:22.720 | dirty by far.
00:00:23.780 | Let them get dirty.
00:00:24.820 | It's great.
00:00:25.460 | Like a dog is a lot of work.
00:00:26.700 | So I'm not advocating for a dog if you don't have one, but there's studies that show that
00:00:29.980 | households with children who have dogs, the kids end up on fewer antibiotics.
00:00:35.080 | They have fewer autoimmune diseases because a dog is bringing some dirt and some outdoors
00:00:39.060 | into your house.
