Full version:

Children who suck their thumb (ssać kciuk)  and bite their nails (obgryzać paznokcie)  suffer from fewer allergies. The habit helps prevent allergies by exposing them to (narażać na …/ wystawiać na …) microbes. The  findings are consistent with the hygiene theory that early exposure to dirt or germs reduces the risk of developing allergies (rozwinąć/ zachorować na alergię).  They also help protect throughout adulthood (dorosłość), even if the children’s parents suffered from allergies, or they grew up in a house with pets or people who smoke in it, the study said: “While we don’t recommend that these habits should be encouraged (zachęcać), there appears to be a positive side.
