Now, if you're like me, you love getting out of the house (finally!) to enjoy the warm spring weather, but you're afraid that all your spring flinging won't look too appealing on you, what with the inevitable runny nose and red eyes that your seasonal allergies will bring. Yet new research suggests that there might be a new way to cure those pollen-driven blues: kissing!In a
recent study conducted in Japan on 24 people with eczema and 24 people with hay fever, subjects were asked to kiss (or as a control, cuddle without kissing) while listening to romantic music. Since the kissing group was shown to produce significantly less allergen-specific antibodies than the cuddling group, it was concluded that kissing may alleviate allergic symptoms. For those of us going solo or not in the mood for lip locking,
listening to Mozart or
watching a heartfelt film can deliver similar results.
And if you're still uncertain you can get through the spring season sniffle-free, join us tonight at Babeland Seattle for our free Kiss Me, I'm Irish: Flirting Tips from a Flirt workshop tonight at 6 pm, where we'll cover eye contact, suggestive conversation starters, and tips to take it a step further. After all, you can't cut corners when it comes to your health, right?
