About Me View My Posts
Researchers believe they have found an “anxiety vaccine” in the most unlikely place: soil. Studies have shown that a common bacterium found in plain old dirt, Mycobacterium vaccae, has anti-inflammatory properties that prevent the brain from being wired for stress. This means that an overly sterile environment in childhood could contribute to anxiety disorders later in life. For decades, scientists... 1/25/2022 6:00:00 AM
