Fungi Facts and Handwashing Hysteria or Sterile Salvation

For #205727.
Grizz followup

One of the reasons why the handwashing, like a medical protocol for the public, advised for all of us by the 'medical community' and continually reminded to us by mainstream media sources (and recently with #205727 well meaning CZ post), is, as odd as it seems to the conventional mind, a non analysed and counterproductive practice, when followed too incessantly, for our physical health.

Recent studies have concluded that along with the imbibed colostrum's importance, is the importance of the unsterile air and soil we are exposed to as infants and children, if our immune systems arent exposed to either, we suffer as we age and increasingly interface with the environmental reality.

from one of the links:

"In Chapter 4, we discuss the regionally specific fungal infections in the United States that came to the fore as a consequence of the economic development of certain regions in the South and Midwest, where population movement brought in non-immune groups who were vulnerable to endemic mycoses. The forms of economic development were also important, as new methods of production and types of industrial and domestic construction created new environmental conditions, and in some cases literally transformed and transported fungi-laden soil dust. In the same vein, we show how new technologies of food production, transportation and storage produced a new class of hazardous compounds – mycotoxins. In our final chapter, we discuss aspergillosis, the most serious of the invasive mycoses that have emerged from new medical technologies, such as intensive care and immunosuppression. An important theme here is iatrogenesis, as attempts to control aspergillosis exemplified the now routine issue in modern medicine of balancing the benefits and adverse effects of primary treatment, with secondary and tertiary interventions".
