This is a topic that has undergone much study and research, but which the scientific community has still not been able to find consensus on. While some studies point the finger at the presence of a pet to an\u00a0increased risk of allergies in children<\/a>, others conclude instead that our faithful companions have a protective effect on the health of toddlers.<\/p>

ANIMALS AND ALLERGIES, A CASE-BY-CASE DECISION<\/span> <\/h2>

\u201cWhat we do know now is that the presence of an animal <\/a>in the environment of a young child stimulates the immune system,\u201d says Dr. Deleusi. \u201cThe earlier they are in contact with bacteria, microbes, the faster the child will grow resistant to diseases.\u201d However, conflicting results about allergies put specialists on different sides of the fence. \u201cIf you are expecting a child and you or your spouse has allergies (pollen, dust mites, etc.), it is best to avoid having a pet,\u201d says the allergist. On the other hand, if you are already the proud owner of a cat, dog or hamster, there is no need to give it up. \u201cOverall, the child<\/a> has a one in two chance of developing an allergy.\u201d One situation the specialists do unanimously agree on, however is that if your child is allergic to dogs or cats in the house, you will need to part ways with your beloved furry companion.<\/p>
