Summary

The investigators intend to investigate whether the rise in childhood obesity is caused by the loss of recurrent and chronic infections in modern, industrialized society, beginning in utero and extending through early childhood. The investigators will also examine whether the antimicrobial triclosan, present in numerous cleaning and hygiene products, decreases the incidence of infection within a household.

Conditions

  • Bacterial, Viral and Other Infectious Agents

Interventions

OTHER

Removal of triclosan-containing cleaning products from household.

An intervention is nested within the observational cohort study as a secondary outcome. Commercially available household and personal cleaning products that either do not contain triclosan or that may contain triclosan will be delivered to the household every 4 months for the duration of the study. All cleaning products will be formulated, packaged and labeled by the original manufacturer with no modification for this study. Use of these products will be as per each individual product's label and at the discretion of the participant.
