Microbial exposure

Microbial exposure refers to the contact with microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, found everywhere in our environment. This exposure can occur through various means, like breathing, touching surfaces, or consuming food and water. While some microbes can cause illness, many are harmless or even beneficial, playing crucial roles in our health, such as aiding digestion and supporting our immune system. A balanced exposure to microbes, especially in early life, can help build a strong immune system, promoting overall health and resilience against diseases.
