List and describe as many changes in human behaviors as you can think of that contribute to decreased exposure to microbes.
- C-Section: when the child is born through a C-section rather than vaginally the child is not exposed to as many microbes
- Formula vs Breast milk: when a child is fed formula they are not exposed to as many microbes because formula lacks all the bacteria and microbes transferred from the mother to child during breastfeeding
- Washing your fruits and vegetables: not washing your fruits and vegetables before eating will expose you to many new microbes
- Having roommates/living with a lot of people: when you constantly surround yourself with a lot of people you are exposed to their bacteria and microbes which makes you more exposed to microbes overall
- Taking probiotics: exposes you to microbes in the probiotic
- Eating a diverse diet: eating many different foods will expose you to many microbes
