To try toa settle the debate, allergy doctors in Maine looked at the available medical evidence. They say while it is best to avoid too much soap, a daily soak is fine. UK experts agree, altho

The finding offers hope of targeted screening and therapy, Neuron reports. The Uni

Data from 27,682 children and young people showed 25.4% of those aged 12 and older had all seven recommended annual checks, such as eye screenings.
