Bacteria in cow sheds may protect children against allergies

Vietnamese scientists have identified nine types of bacteria in cow sheds that may play a protective role against allergies in children. According to the source, these bacteria can form a 'shield' against allergic reactions.

The research, the details of which are not clear from the headline, suggests that exposure to these bacteria may be important for the development of the immune system in children. The results could lead to new insights into the prevention of allergies.

It is unclear whether the bacteria are being tested directly on children or whether only their presence in cow sheds has been studied. The source states that the discovery may open up new avenues for studying allergies.
