Peanut allergies have plummeted in children

I attribute to my robust immune system to the amount of dirt I ate as a child, I was a digger in the school yard, and I liked playing in mud - while being a thumb sucker well into elementary school.

the word is "soil" :-D

Most peanut allergies are noticed during infancy. Advising infants eat more dirt is probably not a good solution to reducing peanut allergies on the whole.

I know you're being facetious but I wanted to say, a friend of mine's kid recently got diagnosed with elevated lead levels in his blood, likely caused by eating contaminated dirt from their backyard. So... test before you try it, I guess?

My kids love to play in sand, and one time I found my kid playing with "rocks" in the sand before realizing it was a favorite shitting ground for the neighborhood cats

Have you tried it though?

(just kidding)

I've tried giving infants advice before.

For a being with very little gained knowledge they are amazingly skeptical.

Haven't been able to win one over yet.

lead in the soil? where do they live, a slag heap?

Lead used to be in paint and gasoline, so the top soil of entire cities were adulterated with lead in the last century.

coach told us to put dirt on our cuts.
