Placebo-Controlled Trial of Blowing on a Wound: Pediatric Antimicrobial Efficacy of Parental Saliva-Adjacent Airflow

Bjørnsen TE, Lindqvist AK.

Pediatric Folk Medicine Quarterly. 2026;27(2):77-94.

Parental airflow achieved 99.8% subjective healing in 4 seconds, versus 3 minutes and considerable crying for antiseptic (p < 0.001). Mechanistic analysis found the effect was not antimicrobial but attributable to a parent crouching to eye level. No adverse events, except when a sibling was watching.
