New study, maybe our dishes are too clean?
I may have Asthma, but I am still using my dishwasher, on sanitize. I'll lick a water fountain or something to help my immune system. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Iheartmaytag's LINK | ||

Here's my question: We come in contact with dishes/glassware for a relatively brief period of time each day. We're in contact with a thousand other bacteria/virus/germ-laden items/surfaces/people all day long. Are handwashed dishes so filthy they can make that big a difference in allergic reactions?

Personally I think this study is rubbish. You wonder how they performed this study. There have been other, more precise studies, one thing that stood out is that children raised in the countryside have less allergies than children raised in cities. Perhaps people in the countryside don't have as often a dishwasher as people in the city? That would be an explanation. There are other reasons thinkable for the result of this study. My advice: Use the dishwasher but let your growing up child play outside in natural surroundings as often as possible. | ||

Guilty
"If the dishwasher-friendly parents ran their machine on Sanitize, there's a good chance they also sterilized childrens' bottles each refill, vacuumed 5 times a day with a True HEPA-equipped device, never let the kids play in common (or considered unhygienic) areas, and so on. "
My kid was a Preemie, her bedding was washed in laundry sanitizer after every diaper change, anti-microbial hand creams before contact, bottles & formula sterilized. Wasn't taken out of the house except Dr. appts, and those were specially arranged so she didn't wait in the waiting room with sickies. She's bigger now, immunes system like Ox, she eats dirt, licks toilets on a dare kisses the dog on the mouth. All that healthy stuff. | ||
