A newborn’s immune system needs time to figure out what should be fought
and what should be left alone. Conventional wisdom had it that early
exposure to potential troublemakers, from peanuts to pets, could lead to
allergy issues later.
But recent research shows that having a dog or cat at home isn't likely to
make children allergic to animals. And a new study finds that kids who grow
up with pets are less likely to have an animal allergy all the way through
age 18. The works is in the journal Clinical & Experimental Allergy . [Bill
