Sometimes it’s good to have a little dirt in the house, according to a research that would be published in Nature soon.
The American scientists in the research found that mice living in a germ-free environment developed type-1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease.
So, having a totally sterile home is instead not too good for your kids. However, don’t go into the opposite extreme and have a super dirty house. The kids and you will have a different set of health problems then.
As for Matthew, we are not too particular about him getting a little dirty. And he has been a rather healthy kid so far other than the occasional flu, cough and fever.
