Having Pets May Reduce Allergies

Prevailing logic says that having pets causes allergies in many people. But new research indicates that the relation between pets and allergies may not be what you think.

Having companion animals in the home may actually help to reduce allergies, according to new research. The nine-year study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, investigated the respiratory health of nearly ten thousand adults in relation to their lifelong history of having companion animals in their homes. Previous studies have indicated that exposure to cats and dogs in early childhood may make one less likely to develop asthma and allergies later in life. This study added to this evidence, noting that pet owners had significantly lower incidences of allergies – by over 30% – than those who had no pet.
