First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether children who grow up on farms, with more exposure to microbes, have fewer severe colds and breathing problems. Researchers tracked 290 children aged 4 to 12, including farm kids and city kids with and without asthma. The goal was to understand how early microbe exposure might boost the immune system and lower illness risk.
