Keep a dirty house!

The child will need to live among many strangers later on, and will have to touch shopping carts in their adulthood. When is their immune system ok to deal with the world around them? A year, 2 years, when?

A mom mentioned to me that she keeps wipes on her. They went a nice restaurant and she wiped the table, and it came up brown. So now she's in the habit of bringing disposable placemats with her. When is this kid going to touch a table at a public place like everyone else? Will his immune system be able to cope if it had never happened before?

To be fair, there will be an age when that kid will not be rubbing her hands on that table and then stuffing them into mouth.
