2 Pre- and postnatal environment opportunity for early immuno-education and programming

3 Loss of clinical and immunological tolerance Hygiene hypothesis Lack of infectious microbes in early childhood Altered exposure to environmental microbes Examples: having older siblings frequent viral infections anthroposophical life style early day care traditional farming
