  • Dirt has pathogens that are only harmful.

Stopped there. Because that’s how your immune system learns.

And the bit with heavy metals is bull. Just don’t let them eat a ton of dirt of vineyards (copper).

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler You should’ve read the rest of the page then like the first one xdd
Dirt is contaminated by harmful heavy metals and other toxic pollutants
The known beneficial microbes are the host-native ones that are passed down generationally via vaginal birth and breastfeeding. Microbes that you pick up from the environment are not the same and are more likely to be harmful.
Antibiotics are one of the primary things you want to avoid if you’re worried about your microbiome

You’re confusing gut Microbiome with immune system? Sure, it plays an important role in immune reactions but it’s not the same.

Playing in is not dirt eating, it’s dirt tasting. That bit of heavy metals pales in comparison to even one year living.

@MonkderVierte Another red herring changing goalpost. Where do you think both reside?

It’s dangerous misinformation, regardless of how you want to phrase it. You do not need to eat dirt or play in dirt.

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler Eating dirt and practicing poor sanitation increases your odds of contracting an infection and needing antibiotics.

So much commitment for just a hypothesis

Don’t infections lead to producing antibodies?

You may be suffering from heavy metal poisoning.

Stopped there. Because that’s how your immune system learns.

“I chose to stay ignorant and re-state misinformation that you debunked”

And the bit with heavy metals is bull.

It cites the CDC, so you should contact the CDC and tell them to stop spreading “bull”.
