A new study says to ditch the dishwasher and wash your dishes by hand.

Dishes. The biggest pain in the arse ever.

I can't stand doing the dishes. I'm a firm believer that the dishwasher is the greatest invention of all time. Asking me to give up my dishwasher is just preposterous.

This day in age germs are always the bad guys. Why? They aren't all bad. I ate dirt when I was a kid. I survived! Doctors are now telling you to keep eating your dirt.

A new study by doctors with Sweden's University of Gothenburg says that our dishwasher may not be the answer when it comes to boosting our immune systems.

Research says that small amounts of bacteria and dirt is a good thing. The hypothesis is that if children are exposed to a variety of germs it will help a child develop a healthy immune system. This in turn could mean fewer allergies for children as well.

I think this goes back to the days where kids used to eat dirt, bugs and eat the food that they dropped on the floor. A little goes a long way.
