I'm not a scientist and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night - BUT - much of it seems to be the sterile environment so many people have been adopting.
No exposure to germs, no build up of immunity.
I needed to update our daughter's medical records at school before the new year started and so scheduled an appointment with the doc we chose here - her records at school showed the doc in Delaware - it had also been 2 years since she had been in to see one for a comprehensive physical.......Doc's attitude, and literal question, was "Why are you bringing this child in here?"
He knew why, and it was actually a rhetorical question, the point being she is PERFECTLY HEALTHY even though both her parents smoke, there are dogs in the house, and I let her play in the mud and with bugs :)
All the BS gloom and doom about smokers and SHS is just that - gloom and doom BS - but it is politically correct.........
