This is how you get to hear “aawwww you’re so lucky, my kids are allergic to everything“ for the next 20 years

@bronze @WashedOutGundamPilot You don't get allergies from playing in dirt, it's the reverse. Your body gets exposed to different bacteria, which strengthens your immune system and conditions it to recognize actual pathogens and problems, as opposed to people with allergies and auto-immune diseases, whose immune systems had nothing to work with, so it started to haywire on itself.

@Alex1488 @bronze @WashedOutGundamPilot idk how much it actually matters in accordance to allergies. My brother and I played in the dirt all the time all through our childhoods, played outside all the time, and I have an auto immune disorder from my mom and he's allergic to a lot of stuff. We both have spring and fall allergies.

I do have a pretty damn good immune system though, minus my pigment cells getting eaten alive. Literally the only time I've been sick since Jan 2019 was covid for a few days in Dec 2021. I haven't thrown up from something that wasn't a seizure for well over a decade. All of my siblings are like that except my brother who got all the vaxxes for travel and has legit had covid 6 times.

@beardalaxy @bronze @WashedOutGundamPilot Yeah, some allergies you can't do anything about, that's just genetics, but playing in dirt and getting exposed to shit are proven to reduce the risk of auto-immune disorders/diseases.
Genetics is a funny thing.
