Yes there are studies to that very end. Farm kids are healthier...and we are making a lot of hot house lillies with our clean this and that mentality. A lot of allergies have to do with gene pools. Allergic people making alergic kids. The same people that will screech about kissing a chicken, will let their kids play with the toys in a pediatricians office...culture the toys and see what grows!!!!! The only time I have ever gotton sick(E.coli sick) was when I swallowed a fly. Yes, I turned into the old lady that swallowed the fly...i dont know why!. I thought my insides were coming out and had to go to the hospital for fluids. I had dysentary...what thousands died of in the Civil War and currently in 3rd world countries. Moral...if you want to be picky about something...kill flies!

yes mamma
for those of you that didnt read my earlier post...that was my point exactly. My daughter sees several specialists. One is an asthma doc. She has had all the tests and have pages of things that she is allergic to. In theory she should be in the hospital because of the way we live. But instead she is happier and healther than ever before. Her Dr. says people spend to much time concerned about germs and forget the devasting effect stress has on your health.
In my opinion there is no better stress relief than loving up a pet

I do this! And I tell them every night when I am closing the pop door that, "Mommy loves them and will see them in the morning."


I think some of the people carping in this thread need to take a chill pill and back off.

While I don't actually kiss my chickens I can totally see why some do. The only time it would be my business is if we were sharing kisses and we won't be so kiss away!

Chillax people!

Exactly!!! People gave enthusiastic "yes" answers to the question; some of us give passionate "nos." I don't get what the problem is.

Once a doctor on the burns/wounds unit told me spider bites get so awful from the FLY GERMS on spider's fangs. Ever meet somebody who almost lost a limb from a brown recluse spider bite? Dr Gia told me its probably more from the fly germs than from the brown recluse toxin; the spiders don't brush their teeth very well and they're always sucking on flies.....

and yes we kiss our chickens, but only if they ask first.

I adore my chickens! I only kiss the banties though. I do snuggle the big girls (standards). I don't care if it's gross or not, I love them! They bring me so much enjoyment! In fact, I'm gonna go check for eggs and give my girls kisses now.

Yes I do. There are 4 hens that like affection. One of them actually 'demands' it. Drives the soon to be gone rooster wild. Here's a picture of me and HoneyBird.
