Cow sheds found to be rich in bacteria that may prevent allergies in children

Nine types of bacteria that may play a protective role against allergies in children have been discovered in cow sheds. This is reported by Vietnam.vn. According to the source, the bacteria may possibly act as a 'shield' against allergic reactions.

The exact mechanism behind this protection is not yet clear. It is also unknown whether the bacteria can be used as a preventive measure in the future. Further research is needed to confirm the effects and safety.

The discovery fits into the growing importance of microbiomes and their influence on health. Previous studies already pointed to a link between exposure to animals and a lower allergy risk, but the exact role of specific bacteria was unclear until now.
