I read in Discover that people that get hepatitis A in childhood, which was
almost everyone a couple of generations ago, are very unlikely to develop
asthma.
A new science has found that a little bit of poison, or illness, or

Cowpox provides immunity to small pox, sickle cell anemia provides resistance
to malaria, some radiation provides the immune system practice in destroying
cancerous cells, etc.
