Are allergy rates really increasing or is this just the effect of media?
Our bodies are weird. I spent all my summers as a kid in the countryside, with various animals and lots of vegetation. At age 12, for some reason I developed hay fever. I still spend my summers in the countryside and have to eat allergy pills throughout the summer. Is this the effect of hand sanitizer? Autoimmune disease: hand sanitizer? Very hard to pin down.
