researcher James E. Gern, MD, a pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology says that a number of new studies suggest that kids growing up in a home with “furred animals”–which can include dogs, cats and RABBIT, as well as farm animals–will have less risk of allergies and asthma.
In his recent study, Gern analyzed the blood of babies immediately after birth and one year later and found that infants/ kids were less likely to show evidence of pet allergies when they have pets in their house. They also were less likely to have eczema; and they had higher levels of some immune system chemicals–a sign of stronger immune system activation.
