Today I heard a young mother reprimanding her son for kneeling down and playing with some soil that was surrounding a public hedge.
She was saying that it was dirty and he will get ill.
When I was a kid we lived in the dirt (and up trees) and generally did not care about any of the above.
Only (fairly) recently has TV advertising and documentaries began telling us about how dangerous germs can be and I am sure that it is all just scaremongering. Keeping your child in a sterile enviroment means that they could grown up with an under developed immunity system.
This is how bad things have got...
We we live in a world where they sell Domesdos that kills 99% of all known germs but then they sell the good germs back to you in bottles of Actimel.
I struggle to comprehend the people that fall for it.

That last comment of yours Tigerlilly... Opens the question of how many human illnesses are caused by doctors and scientists thinking that they are clever and that they can actually outwit nature. Idiots lol

Aye....I remember it well. On a Sunday we had roast germs and on a Monday a germ stew from the leftovers. If there was any left on Tuesday we had cold germ butties. Nowadays the kids wouldn't even recognise a germ much less know how to cook it. ;D
