🚜🧬 Researchers compared two similar communities with different #farming techniques to study immune system development.

#Amish #children who grow up around traditional manual farming show a much lower risk of #allergies than #Hutterite children who live on modernized industrial farms. The study suggests that early exposure to diverse environmental #microbes found in barns helps train our immune system to ignore harmless allergens.

Getting stared at whilst wearing my #ElastomericRespirator in public is nothing new, but today was, IMO, notable.

A youngish couple (maybe mid-30s) didn't do a #DoubleTake, or even a #TripleTake, but a #QuadrupleTake.

The *particularly* unusual part? They were clearly both #Hutterite owing to their clothing and hairstyles.

I had the privilege of visiting the Springview Hutterite Colony School, an hour south of Drumheller yesterday, to speak to students about the work of the Senate, and our upcoming soil study.
