My own case in point, having spent much of my youth and several years afterward on farms in severe dust conditions, now, many years removed, I have a dust allergy.<BR/>Could this carry to another generation? Or is it the kind of thing that could only be passed to a child in the womb from the mother's own anti-body system?<BR/><BR/>Just curious. There seems, for example to be unusually high rates of peanut allergy lately, but my generation was raised on peanut butter.<BR/>Could a similar effect be taking place with respect to vaccines?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
