In the news reports that I read frequently, I find that there are many things that can bring on allergies in both Children and Adults. Recently, however this report caught my eye, as it stated, "Mice May Bring on Wheezing in Some Kids".

While they tell us that more research is needed re this, they suggest strongly that children especially in their 1st year of life are the most affected by this exposure! It is recommended to try and keep young ones away from mouse exposure as much as possible in their early years!

Hugs, Teri

Hi Lyn!!

Yes, we have animals all over, too!!-I love birds, work with them at a Pet Store as a Volunteer everyday-socializing them and training them, plus my cockatiels that I have as pets and breed...When I was about 20, I even raised white mice til I realized how out of hand their population could get! lol What a mess! I also have allergies and asthma!

Thanks for visiting, Lyn! Big Hugs, Teri
