- funny - I never got sick in the tropics - maybe it was the earthworm I ate as a hungry and curious child in the west - or just coming from people who lived in the dirt - so had already established a good immune system - was breastfed - so had it in the blood - and the milk?
exposure creates immunities. MUCH of your protection DOES come from breast milk. i highly recommend it myself, lol. if you don't believe me, try to pull a nursing infant off of a nipple some day...
