Infants who sleep on animal fur may be less likely to develop asthma later in childhood, new research suggests.
The study included more than 2,400 healthy city-dwelling newborns in Germany who were followed until age 10. Of those children, 55 percent slept on animal skin in their first three months of life.
Compared to other youngsters, those who slept on animal skin in infancy were 79 percent less likely to have asthma at age 6, and 41 percent less likely to have asthma by age 10, the investigators found.
The study was presented Sunday at the European Respiratory Society meeting in Munich. The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma. An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments," Christina Tischer, from the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen Research Center in Germany, said in a European Lung Foundation news release.
"Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations," she added.

The more we insulate our children from dust, dirt, dander, etc., the greater the incidences of allergies, asthma and other kids' problems. By using this insulation are we weakening their i****e s****ms?

This is correct to a great degree, although I've seen it discussed more in the context of "let the kids play around in the dirt and mud; it won't hurt them." Not sure how this concept applies to animal skins and fur. But I will say that it's sexy on models and they love the feel of it. In addition, some furs have particular qualities that mean life or death in wilderness situations.
