But Im betting kids roll around in the dirt among the relatively wealthy just like we did when I was a kid, all concerns about the coddling of children today aside.
I haven't seen any kids over the past few decades get as dirty as I and my brother got during the years we lived in the country, handling many different live and dead amphibians, mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles, smoking all sorts of strange plants, getting cuts, burns, stings, swimming in ponds, lakes, creeks, throwing dirt bombs, etc.. Interestingly, in my Nutrition Through the Life Cycle class it was proposed that one possible reason for the disproportional rates of osteoporosis between women and men up to this point is that during childhood bone growth, boys spent a lot more time outside with a lot more skin exposed to UV resulting in increased amounts of vitamin D compared to girls and increased bone density.

This would seem to contradict the idea that immunizations lead to peanut allergies. It only contradicts the idea that only immunizations lead to peanut allergies.

Thank you, my hearing is better (I got back 90% of comprehension in the infected ear, but lost the high frequencies).
As to your question, no. The chickenpox virus hides in your nerves then erupts as shingles. So it doesn’t make any difference it could still getcha.
I’m not sure on the vaccine yet, but may depending on the additional “stuff” in it.
