List and describe as many changes in human behaviors as you can think of that contribute to decreased exposure to microbes.
1. A change in diet (decreased exposure to microbes from foods that are cooked versus raw)
2. Hand washing (WITH soap!)
3. Washing food before eating or cooking it
4. Cleaning the house often
5. Where you work (do you work in a sterile hospital area versus in a daycare)
6. Living with other people (the more people you live with, the more microbes you’d be exposed to)
7. Taking daily supplements of probiotics
8. Taking frequent showers and actually washing your body instead of just rinsing off
