I've let my kids explore the world and I'm sure they have been exposed to the odd tobacco fumes now and again. They have grown up strong and healthy.Flaxen Saxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431645401478120921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-61040166551752999942015-09-25T12:49:31.835+01:002015-09-25T12:49:31.835+01:00My kids were always encouraged to wallow in dirt w...My kids were always encouraged to wallow in dirt when they were young.

As for the rise in asthma- 3rd world cess-pits don't seem to have this problem although pollution levels are through the roof. Asthma rates may have something to do with the cosseted lifestyles our kids endure. Our immune systems enjoy being challenged whilst young. Being exposed to 'allergens' helps the immature immune system to mature and be effective. A childhood eating mud is not such a bad thing afterall.
