�An increasing number of studies take shown a reduced peril of
allergies, hay fever, asthma and eczema in farmers' children and
adolescents. Until late it was believed that these protective
effects primarily arise from exposures during the first-class honours degree years of life.
Jeroen Douwes (Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand) and
colleagues examined the effects of current, early and antenatal
farming exposures in children from farms, and in a rural non-farming
reference population. For this design they surveyed 1,333 farmers'
children and 566 reference children aged 5-17 years.
The authors confirm that symptoms and eczema are less common in
farmers' children. More significantly, they show that maternal exposure
during pregnancy to animals and/or grain and hay strongly reduces the
risk of asthma symptoms, hay fever and eczema.
This risk of infection is even further reduced when children are as well currently
exposed. In fact, when children are exposed both in utero and later
in life, bronchial asthma, hay fever and eczema are rock-bottom by more than 50%.
Thus, prenatal exposure contributes to the downhearted prevalence of asthma,
hay fever and eczema in farmers' children, but continued exposure is
required to maintain optimum protection.
These findings suggest that to prevent allergic diseases, such as
asthma, hay fever and eczema, measures should be taken before birth
and may have to be continued passim life.
