- Yes. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:42
- See my post below. The allergies (like asthma) are multiplying from not giving kids' immune systems a proper introduction to the world. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:42 8
  - it can't be that simple. I lived on a *farm*. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:43 7
    - It is not, there is also a genetic factor. However, it has been shown that kids raised in third world countries have less allergies (likely because - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 8, 13:54 4
      - I don't think lactose intolerance counts as an allergy -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:55 2
        
        oh, that's a thread down. my bad. Does asthma count? I think it does, but I'm not sure. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:56 1
        
        Yes, asthma is one that seems to develop if you are raised in a clean environment. However, there is still some genetic factors to it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 8, 14:28
      - And as was said above, more die. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:55
    - I lived in relatively rural areas growing up, too, and I had asthma (or so the doctor said; I only had one attack.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:53
    - that means you would have been a bubble boy if you had grown up in the city -- nm - zork Jun 8, 13:44
and some schools have banned PB from lunches because some kids cannot be in the same room. -- nm - zork Jun 8, 13:36 10
- When these bans started happening, I advocated putting peanut oil in the public water supply. Wipe this thing thing out before it spreads further. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:39 9
  - Sounds like a Chris Rock bit: "You think anyone in Rwanda's got a f*cking lactose intolerance." -- nm - Shaun Jun 8, 13:50 2
    - As a matter of fact... -- (link) - Reagen Jun 8, 13:52
    - Well, yes. Also, they're hooked on an imported drug ... - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:51
  - You know what else should be banned? Glasses and contact lenses! -- nm - Roger More Jun 8, 13:47
  - Kids don't eat enough dirt -- nm - amoxy Jun 8, 13:45 1
    - Exactly. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:47
  - I think it's partly that, but also that kids actually survive them now. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:41 1
    - *ding* just like cancer is rampant because not everyone is dropping of heart attacks at 45 or 50 anymore. -- nm - zork Jun 8, 13:43
  - *calls Batman* -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:41
Wow. Lawsuit for a few things right there. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:34
yeah, but they jammed it into her Aeorta. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 13:34 1
- You were at my camp, too? -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:34
