Farm Exposure In Utero Protects Against Asthma

�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.

Best thing is I've got memories of being a kid there and the worst thing is I've got memories of being a kid there" -- and other on he struck kayoed on his possess, earning pocket money by busking on the streets of Porth, a small town approximate the Cornish coast. Morrison worked funny jobs crosswise the area patch committal to writing songs and performing gigs whenever he could, and his big break came when a demonstration of his material caught the ear of an A&R man at Polydor Records. Morrison was quickly gestural to the label, and he went into the studio with producer Martin Terefe to phonograph recording the 13 original songs that make up Undiscovered, which hit the streets in August 2006. A well-received appearance on Jools Holland's chat show Later and an porta one-armed bandit on Corinne Bailey Rae's British concert duty tour made Morrison a call to watch, and his songs "You Give Me Something" and "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore" became major hits in the U.K. In January 2007, Morrison played a short duty tour of the United States as the buzz about his album began to sweep the ocean.
