2. Recent studies have found
that any infant can develop
allergies when their body is
exposed to anything their
immune system deems as
“foreign” which causes the
reaction. Although
allergies can develop in
early stages or later in life,
studies have shown that a
pet such as a cat or dog in
an infant’s life can prevent
their allergy later on.
