And the same kids who were most prone to asthma and other allergic disorders.
So all you clean freaks out there, get over yourselves.

We did the same growing up. Always wondered if that was one reason I'm seldom sick and have no allergies (knock on wood). Even to this day, if my dog poops off my property, I bag it and carry it home.
Added the last sentence to stay on topic.
p.s., What's a dog poop thread without Fumar's humor? It's been a while. Hope he's okay.
