Training the Fetal Immune System Through Maternal Inflammation—A Layered Hygiene Hypothesis

@ZombieTron @Serena_Partrick I suspect at the very least, any child born in such an immuno-suppressed environment will be at high risk of severely debilitating allergies and/or autoimmune conditions https://t.co/qLjqFf4Jjd

@ColleenAckert @saschitt @Billius27 This claim is often repeated, but the evidence for it is extremely weak; even for allergies the evidence is complicated with some evidence that it is actually due to in utero exposure. See https://t.co/VLj2sU4OO2 https:/

@thatveganlass @100_born @portraitinflesh Babies immunosystem gets training also already in the womb. Too hygienic is not good. https://t.co/Z6RhKssaZ3 Babies tastebuds learns garlic if the mother eats garlic when pregnant, knows it after birth.

@ImmunoCardioLab @elvira_mass @lab_mass @lab_gentek Also, @BeaudinLab also recently discussed how this concept applies to fetal-restricted immune progenitors other than yolk sac erythro-myeloid progenitors: https://t.co/Yw9vWyvPQv
