The protective benefits of being brought up on a farm can last into adulthood as an international team of scientists works on a treatment to stop children from developing allergies.

According to the study, children brought up on family farms have a better chance of avoiding allergic rhinitis in early adulthood.

Substances in barnyard dust and the benefits of drinking milk may help protect against allergies, according to scientists. The variety of organisms they contain can boost the body's defences.

An international consortium of researchers is working on treatments from farm dust and unprocessed milk that may combat the reported increasing prevalence of food allergies with a goal of delivering a product within the next five years.

The international work involves examining the protective extracts from farm dust and studying the beneficial effects on children of minimally processed milk.

She said that they were working on a treatment that would prevent asthma and allergies. There's a lot of promising work and we're getting there.

The latest developments in the international battle against potentially deadly allergic reactions will be examined at a global symposium of allergy experts.

A charity event has been organised by the parents of a child who died from an allergic reaction to a sandwich. The two-day event will be hosted by the prince.

The protective effects from allergic reactions associated with living on a farm continued into early adulthood even if the child moved away after six years, according to a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

According to the report, the window of opportunity for allergy prevention is somewhere in childhood.

The focus for a long time has been on protecting children from potential allergens. She said that it is not only about avoiding. The things we have lost in our lifestyles need to be reintroduced to us.

Research shows that farm-dust extract from Germany and Switzerland protects mice against house-dust mite allergies. Several studies have shown that consuming raw milk protects against allergies. The research project focuses on minimally processed farm milk because it can contain harmfulbacteria.

The Dutch Lung Foundation is one of the largest funders of lung research in Europe.

It has set a target for a product based on minimally processed farm milk to protect children against allergies and asthma by the year 2027.

The emerging evidence on the reported increases in allergies, the possible reasons and potential interventions will be presented by scientists at the event.

The narrower range of micro-organisms to which young children were being exposed may be one of the reasons for the increase in allergies.

He said that if we don't have a protective umbrella in the first few months of life, our immune system won't be able to fight allergies. He said the research would be discussed at the symposium.

The idea of bringing some of the world's leading allergy and environment experts together in the same room came about after the inquest into our daughter's death.

Through scientific research, we believe we can shine a bright light on allergy and consign it to history. Policy interventions and research objectives can be mapped out with the help of this week's symposium.
