Sorry, but I think this link is lacking content-wise. I am sharing this in case you were not aware of this theory, but basically the thought is that the lack of bacteria we come into contact with (compared to our ancestors) makes any bacteria/infection we do pick up much worse as we are not able to cope with them (since we are not used to them).
Any comments on this?
