Wow, "dirt" is one of those words that sounds really weird after you say/write it multiple times.
Love this article in the NY Times Health section today. It reiterates the new thinking that dirt is good for a developing immune system and gives specifics about types of worms that are especially helpful in arming us against autoimmune diseases.
Hopefully you and your children won't take to ingesting worms visible to the naked eye, but count yourself lucky if you live on a farm or with a household pet or two - the dirt/waste on farms and animals regularly contains intestinal worms that can spur our bodies to action in developing immunities.
