A Deeper View of Early Life Microbiota and Hygiene Hypothesis Relationship: Reducing the Risk of Allergic Diseases is Dependent on the Permanent Presence of Good Microbiota throughout Life

Babak Beikzadeh

Abstract


After 30 years, the Hygiene Hypothesis is still being debated in the scientific community. The essence of Hygiene Hypothesis is that exposure of the immune system to microbes in early life prevents allergic disease later in life.[1] In other words, people who live in rural areas have a low risk for allergic disease than in urban areas. The concept of this hypothesis backs to the balance of the Th1/2 response
