Human beings are gradually losing the natural defenses that they had to deal with infections. That's why these infections are on the rise.
How are we losing our defenses?
I don't know but obviously we are.
It is probably the result of a variety of factors. The overuse of antibiotics, the fear of "germs" bordering on hand washing OCD. A food supply that is approaching sterility. Depending on how you look at it, human beings were created to live on this world, or human beings evolved to live on this world. Either way, we have always had natural defenses to germs and microbes. Now we are making earthly humans as alien to this enviroment as someone landing from Alpha Centauri. Parents can no longer pass along immunities to their children because they never developed those immunities themselves. That's why we have more allergies today than ever before.
Hmm interesting, could it be the germs and bacteria are adapting and getting stronger also?
