Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (内部保护机制) that limits a childs contact with plants, they think.The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of grabbing plants － and why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans. The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University. They wrote，Throughout human evolution ...plants have been essential to human existence.Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.” “Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly.Some plants also employ physical defences, such as thorns and poisonous oils that can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body. They added，We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce their exposure to dangers posed by plants by minimising their physical contact with plants.? To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects.It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were faked to look like plants also caused a slow response time.
