I hope I won't get proven wrong but I understand that
our children are more prone to bacterial infections since the use of these
products than they were before...same might go for our fish...the immune
system of all of us be we human, furry or scaled is our biggest natural
defence...which is our immune system...any weakening of this has to be
bad...

Gill, my son was born in the mid-60s. He was sick twice before the age of
21. He had Roseola as a baby and ran a low-grade fever for a day or two.
He caught a nasty virus-cold when he was about 10 yrs old and had to get a
shot and some antibiotics to fight off the opportunistic bacteria that took
advantage of the situation (some kind of bronchitis). He was coughing for
at least 2 weeks. I think he only has something like 3 cavities in his
teeth now as an adult. I was very, very lucky! He just saw the Dr for
shots as the school required.

In those days no one was into watching everything a child touched, didn't
worry about every scratch and abrasion......
