Other studies (previously posted) have shown that children exposed to (i.e. living with) pets or farmyard animals, while for the first 6 months of life have more upper respiratory ailments, after that - and up to age 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly) - have less colds, allergic asthma, bronchitis and ear infections.
