Still Waters Posted December 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2013 A dog in the house is more than just good company. There's increasing evidence that exposure to dogs and livestock early in life can lessen the chances of infants later developing allergies and asthma. Now, researchers have traced this beneficial health effect to a microbe living in the gut. Their study, in mice, suggests that supplementing an infant's diet with the right mix of bacteria might help prevent allergies - even without a pet pooch. http://news.sciencem...dirty-dog?rss=1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
