I think I've forgotten how much random shit I put in my mouth as a kid. Soil from plant pots, sand in the playground, random leaves here and there, and so on. I've never had issues like asthma and allergies.
Between ages 7-10 approx, we used to scrape up spat-out, stepped-on chewing gum from the sidewalk. It was a good day if you found a fresher piece which still had some flavor! Unsurprisingly, my immune system is robust.
Mmm, mud pies were good.. Seriously thanks for the nugget!

We have a photo of our son, as a baby, eating sand on a beach. Thought nothing of it at the time. Such bad, bad parents!
