The farmyard a place to find potential treatments for child allergies?

Tuesday, 6 September 2022 08:47

cientists are now investigating whether dust from farmyards and drinking minimally-processed milk boost to the body's defences

I'm Matt Jones with news that children brought up on family farms may have greater protection against developing allergies into adulthood, according to a new study. Scientists are now investigating whether dust from farmyards and drinking minimally-processed milk boost to the body's defences. Hospital admissions because of severe allergic reactions have risen every year until the pandemic. Researchers from around the world are working on potential treatments, with a goal to deliver a product within the next five years. For more care related stories stay with us here at Care Radio.
