The mattress test... was the point where I closed 50% or more of my demos. Walking in mite poo with shoes on, or sitting in it with clothes on is one thing, rolling in it naked is something else. YUCK! Trebor | ||

Like everything else in life .......
its all a matter of balance. Yes cleanliness and hygiene are important, and yes it is possible to get too carried away with it, to the possible ultimate detriment of the immune system.
Can I just add for our german colleague that I come from a "normal" background in terms of cleanliness as my mother (and me for that matter) was not OCD about cleaning yet I go through hell each spring, and it is now just coming to an end for this year, with my pollen allergy (hay-fever) as I have done for the last 45 years or so. My older brother (60 this year) still has to be careful about house dust mites as that is his particular allergy (and even more extreme than mine whcih is unpleasant rather than life threatening) so no feather pillows or cushions in his house and indeed they do not even have carpet in any room, although that may be down to a life style choice rather than anything else - he does not have the pollen allergy though. So genetics may have something to do with it as well. Al | ||

Sorry But.... Absolutely no scientific data supports this claim: With cleanliness and hygiene, we are living longer, but being "too clean" is bad for you, cases of allergies and asthma have rocketed over the past few decades simply because people are being too aggressive with their cleaning...
As more and more viruses are addressed with anti-viral drugs we are now seeing "super virus" that are very difficult to address with conventional antibiotics. The emergence of resistant bacteria is always going to be an issue because of treatments to the food we ingest from animals whom received antibiotic supplements in their feed. Of course this is only scratching the surface of a much larger picture - but preventing the transfer of bacteria is still relatively easy with soap and water!
As for allergies and asthma - cleanliness has nothing do to with it - the increase is from environmental pollutants and other agents seen with the advancement in technology over the last century.

If you really think about it though...........Yes people did put up with a lot more dirt back in the day.........But they didn't live as long as folks do today.....People live longer now.....Not saying it's dust mites (LOL) but still in some way people were healthier because not many people were overweight as they are today.....
