A ten-year study conducted by doctors at Ford Hospital in Detroit has given evidence that when we create very clean environments for babies and small children may likely leave them more suseptible to allergies. This study shows that children who were exposed to pets on a regular basis, such as in their homes, during their first year off life were much less likely to develop allergies to grass, dust, mold, dogs and cats.

Even children whose families had a history of allergies were less likely to develop these family-inherited allergies.
