Is Being Too Clean Unhealthy?

Sanitation practices are designed to keep us safe from harmful bacteria and viruses, but they may also have unintended consequences. Recent research suggests that excessive cleanliness and lack of exposure to germs and other microorganisms can negatively impact our immune system's development, leading to an increased risk of autoimmune diseases and allergies. The hygiene hypothesis proposes that allergies and autoimmune diseases occur because our immune systems didn't get the right training when we were kids. The theory suggests that our immune system needs exposure to different types of microorganisms to develop and function properly. Studies have shown that people who grow up in environments with more exposure to bacteria, such as farms or rural areas, have a lower incidence of allergies and autoimmune diseases. This suggests that our immune system may need exposure to a wide variety of microorganisms to develop properly and function effectively.
