Having healthy habits such as washing the face with a facial cleanser or shower with soap is fine to remove bacteria clinging to the body. But if it had become an obsession and a habit of exaggeration, it's not a healthy habit again his name.
In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers stated that one of the allergens in children are introduced and their lack of exposure to the dirt until his immune system is not well developed.
These researchers stated after a study conducted in the UK Charity Allergy showed that 40 percent of allergy cases that occurred during this two-fold increase compared to the 1990s, whereas today's society have a more healthy habits and clean the old community appeal.
Finally, researchers at the University of California, San Diego concluded that the existence of dirt, bacteria and other microorganisms can be beneficial to one's health. "The bacteria actually good for us," said Professor Richard Gallo was quoted as saying by Dailymail, Monday (23/11/2009).
"Bacteria that can reduce inflammation (inflammation) and increase body resistance if there is wound so that the wound was not too swollen or stinging in the skin," said Gallo. But there are also types of harmful bacteria that can cause inflammation of the skin, such as bacteria from staphylococcal species.
There are an estimated 100 trillion microbes that live inside and outside the human body. But that microbes will not cause inflammation in the outer skin (epidermis). This was evident in mice which was experiencing the healing inflammation due to the existence of these microbes in the body.
