I used to take Claritin and Zyrtec by the gallo, five years ago. Now, I don’t touch the stuff during allergy season–err—seasons. Well, let me amend that.

All hail the pacifier. It may save our collective global health. Parents licking their babies’ pacifiers–rather than washing them off with water–may help strengthen the infants’ immune health. The microbes in mom or dad’s saliva might help train the kiddies’ immune cells’ memories at a very early age, thereby cutting down on immune triggered childhood [...]

Researchers will be particularly interested allergies, [...]
The trees are budding now, the flowers are coming up and grass is growing. Here comes the pollen.
When looking at seasonal allergies, what triggers them and how to cope, two views generally take shape. One is focused on the immune response. It focuses on the fact that immune cells may be unduly sensitized [...]
