Summary:
Snoring is a serious problem. It is not just noisy. Heavy snoring linked to early death such as heart disease and stroke. The university hospital Umeo found being exposed to a dog as newborn increase the risk of snoring 26%. They said allergic swelling may change the shape of a person’s airways for life. Under one in five of the 15.556 people from different countries reported “habitual snoring”, described as loud and disturbing on at least three nights a week. These included being hospitalized for a respiratory infection before two years old.

My Opinion:
I heard that snoring is link to heart diseases and respiratory diseases. At that time, I noticed snoring is not just noisy things. In addition, a man who had respiratory disease and snoring had gotten a big event in Japan. He had a problem that is snoring and he could not sleep well everyday because of snoring impediment. He was a driver and he slept while he was driving. That was big news in Japan. Because of that event, we noticed snoring shows big health problems.

It's interesting. I didn't know that, but I've heard growing up with pets could cause allergy and some diseases. Especially, it is dangerous to pregnant woman. Some people prefer to raise a pet, and they think the pet like their real family. Thus, they contact with the pet as much as they can, so we can't help raising a pet. However, I think we have to consider about this fact because it is connected to our health.
