Being Alive With Allergy

There seems to be a more musty downside to our success as a species, than I realised. Allergies are on the rise, and our (too) clean houses shared by less and less family members and more and more pets are blamed for it. Likely, in some way, the Sick Building Syndrom at some of our offices is explained? Next to some other important causes of course, such as heredity, sex and age. To find some allergy relief is not getting easier when other allergic reactions can show up from the use of certain food and medication. Or from the encounter with particular creepy insects like wasps or teeks coming out of the blue. On the other hand: we shouldn’t overreact, and perhaps not make ourselves prisoners of our own lives, for instance, allow our toddler to get dirty in the garden, having a good time, and get his immune system working all by itself?
