Hmm, I always thought city kids had more asthma too, especially those in the inner city. It's so odd when medical science runs opposite common sense...

He state that as a fact. That is true. His hypothesis was that it was because the city was "sterile" and city kids didn't develop immunities. FALSE.

"He state that as a fact. That is true. His hypothesis was that it was because the city was "sterile" and city kids didn't develop immunities. FALSE." I hope you have solid FACTS to back that up. Explain why city kids freak out and go asthmatic when they get expoed to pollens and other country things, like hay dust (molds) and other such barn "pollutants" while country kids don't? Industrial pollution within city enviroments could be a factor (is) in weakening their (city kids) immunities, but how do you develop immunities in the first place if you are not exposed to the common irratants in the country. Plus why are shelves full of medication for pollen alergies?
