    Actually the science on this shows that kids who grow up close to manure have lower incidence of allergies and other autoimmune problems.

      before i knee-jerk react to this, i need to know:

      • source? give me a link at minimum, preferably a scientific journal since you’re citing “the science” - much else isn’t gonna make the cut here.

      • if this is the case, why did i and my peers have crippling allergies for the entirety of my childhood? we spent tons of time around manure, thousands of hours literally walking in it. we still couldn’t breathe outdoors without getting allergy symptoms.

      edit: also, what does alleged lower incidence of allergies and “other autoimmune issues” have to do with the relation between playing around manure or drinking raw milk, and getting E.Coli infections/dying? those two are quite closely correlated, the “science” also shows that.
