Is pet exposure effective in preventing allergic disease among young children?
A study out of Japan published Wednesday in the journal PLOS examines whether pet exposure is effective in preventing allergic disease among young children. According to the study, dog exposure might reduce the risk of egg, milk and nut allergies among children. Cat exposure might reduce the risk of egg, wheat, and soybean allergies, the study noted.
The authors noted the study was a questionnaire-based survey, and they did not perform an objective assessment. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, eggs, milk and peanuts are the most common types of childhood food allergies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 8% of children in the U.S. have a food allergy. According to the CDC, there is no cure for food allergies.
