The Kyoto group has submitted its work for publication, after which it will be open...

Before and after the experiment, blood samples were taken to test the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), which triggers symptoms of asthma and hay fever by releasing histamine into the blood. Kimata suggests that the significant drop in IgE levels could be attributed to the relaxation induced by kissing...
