Dr. Moshe Ben-Shoshan of McGill University found that immigrant children have less than half as many allergies as Canadian children, and he thinks it's because the immigrant children have been less protected.But he said “we can’t suggest we become dirtier and expose our children to more bacteria. If the price of having fewer allergies is more infection, I don’t know any parent who would expose their child to more infection."
He says we are truly fortunate to have antibiotics and vaccines to protect children from dangerous bacteria and viruses.
Well, while Ben-Shoshan may not know parents who would willingly expose their children to bacterial and viral risks, I do - the dairy-farming families who feed their children unpasteurized milk and dairy products.
And while the survivors boast about their resiliency, they don't utter a peep about the children who were seriously sickened and some who died.
