this may coincide with the steady rise of people suffering allergies, and could be interpreted as mentioned before, that because we all now try and life in such sterile environments our bodies are over reacting to the slightest thing. Asthma whilst possibly triggered by cigarette smoke can be just as easily triggered by dust, animals, food stuffs, you name it, anything anyone can have an allergic reaction too. |
There is indeed evidence suggesting this. Also evidence suggesting that because children these days have such easy access to antibiotics may be causing or contributing to asthma.

It's interesting to note that people are happy to exercise most parts of their body, but totally ignore the immune system, which surely needs excerise as much as any other part of the body.
Not saying people should go and deliberately expose themselves to disease, but surely having things too sterile won't help.
