Wow that's really interesting. It kind of makes sense, because that's more the natural environment our immune systems developed in.

Yeah. Pretty interesting how there is a fine line between being exposed to the right amount of disease to build a solid immunity, and full on catching a contagious disease.

It does seem like a pretty thin line, but maybe it's not as thin as we think. It's certainly an interesting subject.
