Pets and immunityPets have a positive effect on our immune system. It is critical to have pets in early childhood, ideally before the age of one year, but it is possible to have them positively before the age of five as well. Their presence noticeably reduces the risks of allergic and autoimmune diseases.
A cat, a dog, living in the countryside derisk allergies, eczema, bronchial asthma, etc. Still in adolescence, when the immune system is already formed, the effect can be just the opposite.
