Thank Goodness for Springtime

Ya’ll may think I spend all my time surfing the net. Nothing could be closer farther from the truth. (I do spend time working on the pinball machines)

So I was a bit surprised when I came across this story about how kissing reduces allergies! (ignore all the bird flu stories, I’m hoping they aren’t related)

I think I just felt a whole new round of allergies coming on!

From the article:

Scientists based at the Satou hospital in Japan found that kissing worked by relaxing the body and reducing the production of histamine – a chemical that the body produces in response to pollen, causing the sneezing, runny noses and streaming eyes that characterise hay fever attacks.

Now, not only do I think they make good Trucks, they must have, well, the best medical system in the world. That’s all I have to say. I mean, how out of the box is it to think “We ought see if kissing cuts buck on allergies”. Heck, that’s livin outside the box.

Time to move to Japan.
