“Then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” — Genesis 2:6

Yes, humanity was created from “dust from the ground,” and God designed us to interact with the unseen microbes in our world in a very real, intimate way.

No wonder farm kids are generally healthier than other children with stronger immune systems, fewer allergies and asthma due to early, consistent exposure to microbes

They are always playing in the dirt. They’re not washing their hands every five seconds or obsessed with using hand sanitizer every time they feed the chickens. Maybe you can relate. There’s nothing wrong with eating your lunch with a little bit of dirt on your hands. ;)
