A Japanese scientist has won the spoof¹ Ig Nobel medicine prize for a study that revealed kissing could reduce allergic² reactions in humans.

一名日本科学家研究发现，接吻可以缓解人体的过敏反应，这项研究让他赢得了搞笑诺贝尔医学奖。

"I wish that people will understand the new effect of kissing and I also hope that kissing will bring not only love but also attenuation³ of allergic reaction," Hajime Kimata, who could not attend last week's 25th annual event, said in a videotaped acceptance speech.

"I am honoured to be awarded the Ig Nobel Prize and I appreciate it very much."

Kimata received the prize jointly⁴ with three Slovakian scientists who also studied the "medical effects of kissing." The Slovakian group looked at how long male DNA⁵ stays in a woman's mouth after "intense kissing."

After the medical award was announced, some couples in the audience, prompted by the master of ceremonies, responded by embracing and kissing each other.

The award ceremony - which the science humour magazine "Annals of Improbable Research" gives in 10 categories as a parody⁶ of the Nobel Prizes - was held at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre. It was the ninth straight year for an Ig Nobel prize to go to Japanese recipients⁷.
