This week we were tasked with describing as many human behaviors as we could that contribute to the decreased exposure of to microbes.
This week I thought it was interesting to read some of the exposures as an infant growing up that may decrease exposure to microbes which were:
Born via c-section
Formula Fed
Exposed to antibiotics
Lived in rural area with limited pollutants
Low exposure to dirt/germs
Born on time / as expected
Living in a home with high sanitation (dish-washer/cleaning)
No pets
No siblings
Homeschooled
All of these are examples of things that can decrease exposure to microbes which overall means you live in a very controlled area, and you wouldn’t think of it as having very many “germs”.
