Dirt is contaminated by harmful heavy metals and other toxic pollutants
The known beneficial microbes are the host-native ones that are passed down generationally via vaginal birth and breastfeeding. Microbes that you pick up from the environment are not the same and are more likely to be harmful.
Antibiotics are one of the primary things you want to avoid if you’re worried about your microbiome
Nothing red herring. You know how the immune system learns? By being confronted with bad actors. Too less bad actors, your body becomes the target.
About the gut microbiome: bad bacteria can only take over, if there’s a hole in an already established biome or if it’s generally weakened. But then that’s a huge issue, you’re usually in a sterile tent in a hospital, fed intravenously. A baby already has a healthy microbiome.
It’s not about the microbiome, it’s about the immune system. Think of them as separate entities, even though they are heavily intertwined.
Where do you think both reside?
Gut bacteria: gut
Immune system: gut, veins, mostly bone marrow tho.

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler Eating dirt and practicing poor sanitation increases your odds of contracting an infection and needing antibiotics.
So much commitment for just a hypothesis
Don’t infections lead to producing antibodies?
They might also disfigure, disable, or discontinue you entirely. Like polio.
You’re confusing gut Microbiome with immune system? Sure, it plays an important role in immune reactions but it’s not the same.
Playing in is not dirt eating, it’s dirt tasting. That bit of heavy metals pales in comparison to even one year living.
@MonkderVierte Another red herring changing goalpost. Where do you think both reside?

It’s dangerous misinformation, regardless of how you want to phrase it. You do not need to eat dirt or play in dirt.
