"These probiotics are probably closely mimicking the effects of regularly eating unpasteurised and unsterilised food," said Anthony Horner at the University of California at San Diego.

According to Roger Katz, an allergist at the University of California at Los Angeles, School of Medicine, the results may benefit those who know allergies run in the family.

"Even if someone has the genes for allergies, these results suggest that people can take action to at least reduce the chances of developing early allergic conditions like eczema," he said.
