Why don't you expose Experiment to cholera, tuberculosis, swine flu, malaria, Dengue, West Nile, and give her lots and lots of food laced with E. choli to see how valid your hypothesis might be?

All of your exposure to various germs didn't help you when you got malaria, did it?

There is actually some truth to what you say. There is some research suggesting that exposure to lots of stuff is good with respect to asthma. When it comes to major diseases such as the ones I listed, the tiny bit of additional immunity children get from being exposed to various pathogens is irrelevant. They will get very, very sick.
