A lot of science supports the idea that helicopter hyper-parenting is hurting kids by having them grow up in an environment that’s too sterile. Let your kids go outside and roll around in the mud a bit. God forbid they lick the floor. Science says it’s good for them!

Sadly, the complexity of the human immune system suggests that understanding the mechanisms and using data is superior to relying on heuristics alone.

For example, the presence of rats or cockroaches are associated with their own grave impacts on childhood health.

Are farms healthy for farmers or not? Maybe it depends on whether you live above your livestock.
