Kissing Tips

Posted in Health at 4:29 pm by David Bradley -- Click to comment

Interesting piece of research turned up in a recent PubMed search about the benefits of kissing on allergic response and how kissing can reduce prick test response to house dust mite and cedar pollen in susceptible individuals. It’s not new and subsequent work has shown that people with food allergies who kiss someone who has eaten foodstuffs to which they’re allergic can suffer nasty consequences. Still, it gives us a chance to show a Rodin sculpture on sciencebase (next month, I’ll drag out my mistletoe photographs, if someone adds a comment to this item to remind me)
