Children raised around farms have lower rates of asthma and allergic conditions, and research identifies specific bacteria that statistically account for much of this observed "farm effect" Nine genera of gram-positive bacteria explained about two-thirds of the association between farm exposure and lower childhood asthma risk in this cross-sectional analysis, narrowing the effect from thousands of environmental microbes to a much smaller group Farm bacteria are predicted to produce or process compounds that interact with receptors on human cells involved in immune responses, pointing to a possible route by which environmental microbes may influence immune function You don't need to...
