Wow this is so cool. I wonder how it work. I also wonder what we (us humans) should do to become clean but not too clean.
I learned:
-Researchers say that children whose parents clean their pacifiers by sucking them might be less likely to develop allergies because of how their parents' saliva changes their micro biomes. -This concept was introduced to the world because of a small study of 184 Swedish babies. -The researchers found that the 65 babies whose mother or father sucked on their pacifiers to clean them were less likely to get eczema and asthma -Eczema and asthma are two conditions caused by allergic reactions. -The findings showed that exposure, or the lack of exposure, to microbes early in life can affect a child's health by influencing his or her micro biome. -To collect data the researchers asked questions about what the parents did when their child's pacifier fell out of his or her mouth. -Those whose parents sucked the pacifiers clean were significantly less likely to have developed eczema at 18 and 36 months and less likely to have developed asthma at 18 months.
I give this article a A+. It is so cool to find out about this amazing new study.
I agree with Sophia it was an a great article. It is so cool that the parents germs could ward of allergies such as eczema and asthma. I can't believe they gathered 184 Swedish babies to conduct the study. I think it is amazing that the parents saliva ended up changing the microbes that end up protecting the babies. It is a wonder that it worked on 65 babies. I really don't know what they would come across to conduct this "small" study. This article is weird, but cool. I don't know where they got the idea.

I think this is an interesting article, I never knew that saliva could clean a pacifier especially with all the germs. I think using 184 Swedish babies for studies was a bit extreme and could have used a smaller amount of babies. I think that sucking on a pacifier is a bit disgusting considering that a baby has been using it. I think this is an unusual way to clean pacifiers, but also affective.
Woah. Eww. I'm breathless. This article took my breath away. I have always been a germophobe about drinking from the same bottle as my family. Maybe i was wrong! I am seriously impressed. :) I have never had eczema or asthma so this doesn't apply to me, but I have never heard of cleaning your babies pacifiers with your mouth. I am not surprised that many parents washed it with water, but I am super surprised that many parents also lick their pacifiers to clean them. It's like something that an animal would do, but I guess it helps a lot :) I rate this an A+ because it was interesting AND (notice it is in caps) because it gave a lot of information so I thoroughly understood the topic and had not so many questions about it. :D
this was a really cool article! I think that this is because when the parents suck their babies' pacifier, they're leaving their saliva which has their move developed bacteria fighting cells. Ever since I was a child I never shared drinks with anybody, and I don't think that this will affect my desicion like it affected Annie's... I think that this article was really cool.
This article was amazing. I think this works because the child's parents have a stronger immune system, and this transfers to the baby's mouth, which strengthens the baby's immune system.
