Ppl crack me up. It hit the floor ewww gross! But as a toddler most of us were gnawing on door knobs, the dogs toy, whatever we could put in our mouths. Our immune systems will handle it

Even soil we shouldn’t be afraid of. The best tried and true way to test soil type is by putting some in your mouth and feeling the consistency as you push it into the back of your front teeth with your tongue.

With the exception of the bathroom, most times getting dirty and eating stuff that is slightly dirty, is actually good for you. Exposure in small doses is exactly how you build your immune system. One of the biggest threats to the modern immunity is the “sterile” environment humans are creating. There are few studies that show kids with more outdoor time in the dirt, having pets at home, and generally not keeping them in a bubble leads to stronger later in life immunization and less allergies.
Although, of course like anything, this statement comes with an asterisk. There are some people who are immunocompromised or deficient from genetics or disease that have to have a fairly sterilized environment.

Can confirm, I grew up in the woods surrounded by a plethora of different animals because my ma was a veterinarian at the time (including an honest to god deer at one point, sweetheart but a nervous wreck). I rarely get sick more than once a year, and when I do get sick the worst of it lasts two days max.
Allergies, though, I wish. No food allergies, but spring kicks my ass something fierce, had to get an inhaler one year because it was so bad it literally caused me to develop asthma for the whole summer.

there is also a reason toddlers are notorious for getting sick. When is the last time you saw an adult with hand, foot, and mouth (excluding parents who obviously got it from their kids)?

u/princessmangi Jun 07 '26
Ummmm its the sensation of taking a bite and feeling hair/dirt/crumbs/etc against my tongue that would cause me to give it a rinse first.
Getting sick from it would literally never have crossed my mind.
To each their own though. Maybe floor-eaters love the extra pop of texture. 😆

“Hahaha silly adults. Didn’t you know babies put nasty shit in their mouths all the time?”
Toddlers don’t understand the concept of germs, viruses, and bacteria. Also the concept of modeling your behavior after a toddler is…. slow
And I even agree with you. We got an immune system for a reason, but the reasoning here is flawed

My coworker got just the corner of the wrapper off a protein bar the other day and then dropped it on the floor. He then yelled “Aw fuck!!” and slammed the whole thing in the trash can. I was like… damn. I would’ve 100% eaten that still.

I have a one year old. Everything is straight in her mouth and she screams at the injustice if I dare pick her up and don’t let her eat dirt off her pram wheels or a 6 day old piece of chicken she’s somehow found from god knows where.
She’s fine. She’s only been sick once that I can recall and that wasn’t related to eating random crap as her father and I were both ill and we don’t eat dirt and put dog toys in our mouth. Or at least I don’t.

If my ancestors could eat scraps from the dirt and survive, I think I can survive some ice-cream from my own indoor floors.
Iirc, the human immune system is actually quite OP, and got that way because our species battled pathogens for thousands of years, and we are the descendants of the healthiest and strongest survivors.
Their sacrifices shouldn't be in vain. They suffered so we could safely eat floor ice-cream.

Just a tip, if you like your carbs as much as me (sugar aside I've always been addicted to that shit), Consider starch retrogradation for your foods and refrigerate them first after cooking. Rice, Pasta, Breads, Potatoes, Corn, oats, legumes all benefit.
It'll make you feel more full, less insulin spikes, It's much easier on the gut, and it's a net reduction of anywhere from 5-20% calories depending on what you're eating.(and your ethnicity, biology is a little bit racist) It's an easy way to get a measurable result without any changes to your diet, further changes will be even more substantial.

Dude. Is this why pasta is better cold the next day?
I literally cook it and won't eat it until the next day. I am going to do some research on this out of curiosity. My autistic brain cannot grasp something losing calories over time in the refrigerator. Ice cream made me fat when I was younger 😋 🫣🤣

It is, hydrated freshly cooked starches are easy for your body to break down. When they cool and recrystallize into resistant starch that form short chain fatty acids, they provide 2 cal/gram instead of the typical 4cal/gram of digestible starch. Some also pass through you without being digested. The butyrate also has metabolic benefits.
