It's a good article, although I could have done without the implied guilt trip in this early sentence:

Scientists aren't sure why this is happening, but one explanation, the hygiene hypothesis, suggests it's partly our own doing.

Okay, if the scientists aren't sure, then what is the point in "suggesting" that it's "partly my own doing"?

Other than that, I enjoyed reading this article.

I took "our" to mean society in general, not the parents of kids with allergies. Of course, I may have taken nit that way because it's want I want to believe was meant.
