From the same wikipedia page:

> The hygiene hypothesis has difficulty explaining why allergic diseases also occur in less affluent regions. Additionally, exposure to some microbial species actually increases future susceptibility to disease instead, as in the case of infection with rhinovirus (the main source of the common cold) which increases the risk of asthma

I think having a common cold infection each year does not bring any benefits, it certainly does not make anybody immune to common cold

I remember having a lot of colds as a kid but haven't had one for years now. I may have gained immunity to a good number of the 200+ different types.
