I so completely agree with this!! I see it first hand with the kids at my daughter's daycare. I do NOT use antibacterial sanitizers or soaps and although we practice handwashing, I don't go crazy with it. Germs are good! Lol Well, your body (a healthy body) needs them. There are both good and bad bacterias needed for internal function and on the dermis. If you irradicate the good, you are missing vital parts of your immunity! And the bad will morph into a "super bug" that will damage the current ecosystem and take longer for the natural immune system to learn to "fight off". I am not a germ free mama, and happy to be so! So many kids were very sick this year, but mine was not. She never got the flu, and her belly is happy too. Thanks, Yin! I wish more people would stop with the fear cleansing! IP: Logged |
