Anyway, have you heard of hygiene theory and it's relation to asthma?
What is Hygiene Hypothesis/theory?
Hygiene theory hypotheses that childhood exposure to germs and certain infections helps the immune system develop. '
This teaches the body to differentiate harmless substances from the harmful substances that trigger asthma.
In theory, exposure to certain germs teaches the immune system not to overreact.
Children growing up in rural areas, around animals and in larger families seem to develop asthma less often than other children.
According to the hygiene hypothesis, this is due to increased exposure to particular viruses, bacteria or parasites.

So basically, children who were more exposed to germs have better immune system.
Our immune system needs stimulants.
I personally think letting you child roll on the grass, run bare-footed on the field, played in the dirt, swim in the creek and run in the rain can be a good thing.
So what if they fall sick once in a while?
That was how we were brought up. Our parents let us played in the nature. Dirt, mud and some drain water. you name it.
Sure we got cuts,bruises and boils but we grew up strong and healthy.
It's kinda sad watching kids nowadays played with gadgets (it's amazing how a 2 year old kid can play with Ipad better than i do!), stayed in the house most of the time with parents so over-protective and scared of germs.
My best memories of childhood is of us siblings and cousins swam in the river for hours, paper boats in the drain when it rained, catching little fish in the drains.
Yeah. We played a lot in the drain.
