Three dogs are waiting for their masters coming out from Kameari 2 Chome Co-op shop. They are uneasily looking up overcast sky of rainy season. Dog days are in one month's time.
Advice sought after:
I listen to and dictate BBC programs (podcasts) to deter and delay dementia. And oftentimes I come to words and phrases which I cannot catch. It would be appreciated if you can tell me what they are saying and also correct my incorrect catching in the attempted transcript.
Thanks in advance.

BBC Crowd Science: Are there downsides to deep cleaning?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cszv6y

We took a trip to English countryside to visit a hygiene expert Professor Sally Bloomfield.
0414
She runs the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene and she has spent decades studying how not to pick up infectious diseases. So I asked what she made of Doctor Strachan's idea.
0426
What he proposed was that it was possible that the children that were more exposed to infection were less likely to develop allergic diseases. And he was looking around for a name to call this hypothesis and decided to call it Hygiene Hypothesis, which is very unfortunate because it pre-judges what the cause was, you know, that it was hygiene.
It became clear very soon that the possible infections weren't the right words. And this led Professor Graham Rook to propose an alternative, more feasible hypothesis, and he called it the Old Friend Mechanism.

The microorganism ???(1)??? not infections. They are these microbes that are everywhere in our environment and have been during the millennium when we were in hunter gatherer time, when we have been exposed to microbe that were around that time. And although scientists now understand the Old Friend Mechanism, public don't as long as scientists talk about this so called Hygiene Hypothesis. We'll never dislodge that misconception on a part of public.
0535
So we should do that now. Hygiene Hypothesis is out. Abandoned. And the Old Friend Hypothesis is in. What are the Old Friend?

Well, think of your immune system like a computer program. You are born with a fully formed immune system, but it got no data. And for the moment you are passing down the mother's birth canal, you have been coddled by your mother. She is breast feeding you. You are then going on to touching your surroundings, you know, babies are soon they're touching anything and straight into their mouth.
They are gradually being exposed to microbes, lots and lots of microbes. Diversity is the key. Because it teaches the immune system what is dangerous and they need to combat. What is no harmful and need to be tolerated. There are lots of reasons why we become deprived of microbes. Cesarean section ???(2)??? natural child birth, too many anti biotics are disrupting our microbiome.

And microbiome is the name for the kind of human microbiome.
0634
It's all microorganisms that set up in our body. So there is no evidence, direct evidence that home cleanliness is a significant factor in developing allergies.
