[Ansteorra] OT-Babies and cats

[HLDarcy]

I read a recent article about some new research on allergies that indicates 
that we live in such a hyper-clean enviroment now that our imune systems are 
attacking thngs they normally would have ignored because they don't have 
enough germs to fight.  Our imune system is programed to defend us and if it 
can't defend us against germs then,by golly, it's going to protect us 
against something, even if it has to give us allergies!

Makes me glad I grew up in the country playin' with worms.
