The lack of human worm colonization in "western" countries is correlated with high rates of inflammatory disease diagnoses (Crohn's disease, allergy incidence, etc.). Read about the hygiene hypothesis here (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5025185/). What is your interpretation of this hypothesis; do you think that societies are becoming "too clean"? Add any relevant citations for sources you used while answering this.
