A latest medical research suggests that hand washing dishes cut the risk of allergies in children. The study a supports early hypothesis related to microbes and immune system. Earlier, researchers claim that early exposure to microbes makes your immune system stronger. In comparison, the new study proposes that parents who hand wash dishes have healthier kids. In short, both the studies indicate that bacteria left on washed dished teach immune system to bear germs. The research is printed in 23rd Feb’s edition of Journal Pediatrics.
People who wash dishes with hands instead of using machines for the purpose have healthier kids who are less likely to being infected with allergies.
“We have only tested an association between dishwashing methods and risk of allergy, but the findings fit well with the hygiene hypothesis. And there are studies showing that hand dishwashing very often is less effective than machine dishwashing in reducing bacterial content,” said lead author Dr. Bill Hesselmar, an associate professor of allergy at Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“We therefore speculate that hand dishwashing is associated with increased microbial exposure, causing immune stimulation and, hence, less allergy,” he said.
“When adjusting for covariates and confounding factors, such as lifestyle and socioeconomic factors the associations between hand dishwashing and allergic diseases remain statistically significant for eczema and total allergy, whereas a borderline significance is seen for asthma,” the authors wrote.
“In different countries and settings, different risk factors and protective factors for asthma and allergy seem to interact, and the effect of this interaction on a specific individual depends on their genetic/epigenetic susceptibility,” the researchers write in their study. “We know, for example, that early day care attendance may protect against sensitization, but only in children without siblings.”
“Even though we do not currently have strong support for recommending any of these lifestyle factors in allergy prevention, they are already commonly used and most often regarded as harmless,” the authors write.
“The results of this study are not surprising as there are multiple studies that show that exposures to the microbiome may reduce the risk of [allergic] diseases in certain populations,” said Dr. Selina Gierer, a pediatric allergist at The University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City. “This is an example of when extra efforts to sanitize our environment, with machine dishwashing instead of hand washing, may reduce the natural exposure to microbes.”

Like many aspiring writers, Gregory Bartelt believes that writing is a craft that can be perfected with practice; as such, he does his best to practice every day. This dramatic resolution falls by the wayside depressingly often because real-life is an inconsiderate and jealous man. As a writer, he forte is analytical and academic writing, but he is no slouch on the creative side either. He's aware that the goals he's set for himself (such as becoming the next Carol Tice) might as well be wishful thinking, but he isn't about to give up yet (or ever, really).
