The human body has 30 magic(my unscientific wording) immune responses at any one given time. Some trade places with increased activity on one thing and decreases in another.

We inherit some anti-bodies from our mother, but eventually have to learn to make our own. We aren't doing our kids any favors raising them in sanitized environments. Let 'em eat some dirt.

Grew up with road apple fights, bare feet from March thru October, dog licking leftover milk from my mouth, and butchering our own meats, picking straw out of the milk bucket the goat kicked in(which we drink raw), making our own fermented foamy, scummy, nasty saurkraut, and pickled veggies, and might I also add home brewed beer and handmade wines.

The only time I've needed an antibiotic is when I've had to have surgery with a lengthy hospital stay. I've had manure covered wounds, punctures, lacerations, tore off nails, animal bites, and even had a Lamma spit in my mouth once. Not one of those times did I get an infection. Yet one three hour surgery with a hospital stay and I end up having to have the entire pharmacy in drip bags for weeks.
