That raises an interesting point. I was never in daycare either.
Just skipped off to Kindy when I was 5. I do not remember, but I do not
think I was sick very often. My 6 year old has been sick a lot since
she started school, coming in contact with other kids.
My home cannot be considered "sanitized" by any stretch of the
imagination. I clean up spills, I do use bleach solution on my
countertops when I have handled raw meat, especially poultry, and I
disinfect my dish sponges.
I am convinced that all the sanitizing has had a profound effect on the
human body's ability to fight off illness, including kids from homes
where we do not go crazy trying to sanitize everything.
