Springtime means the arrival of green grass, bright flowers, and buzzing bees. But for many of us, it's also about sneezing, watery red eyes, and a runny nose, thanks to allergies. In this week's video, you'll learn why we get allergies, how our immune system turns against us to attack pollen and pets, and why allergies seem to be on the rise in developed nations.

snot fun

I use to have allergies bad, to the point I couldn't fall or sit in grass or id be itching, sneezing, running nose, to the point of insanity. Then, all of a sudden, around age 14 it stopped. But I spent almost every second of the day outside doing yard work, building trails in my g-parents' woods, gardening, and riding my bike through hicking trails at the dam. I feel like I have allergies or in winter than spring now. Even though there isn't anything to cause it in winter 😂

It would seem obvious that exaggerated immune responses are due to the lack of exposure to more microorganisms, but it does make us realise that we can't reallt see that upfront if we evolve to live in urban lifestyles. We humans always have defficiencies if we have something lacking, even contact with other lifeforms that can harm us.

a lot of ppl in the comment section discuss having allergies to trees or plants they were once not allergic to, and i heard there's a problem with also how people plant and breed trees: since they often get rid of female trees and plant only male trees, male trees have adapted to produce a shitload of pollen now (like the amount is growing every decade) to try and spread their pollen to find female trees. and some allergies, especially tree related ones, are ones that actually get worse when exposed to even more allergens rather than growing tolerance, so people who actually are "suddenly allergic" to these allergens were actually always allergic to them, it's just that back then there was so little of that allergen that their body never reacted to it, but now that there's so much at once, their symptoms manifest seemingly out of nowhere.

If you have allergies when you are in your home, what you have to do is really clean up. I don't mean dust and vacuum. You have to either dust down the walls or wash them.
Same goes for the ceiling. Every square inch. Everything. Because the place is full of pollen. You also have to vacuum your bed. Shake out the sheets or replace them.
It's the only way you're going to get any kind of relief.

I think many times what we call an allergie is actually a buildup of things that on a micro scale is needed or at least tolerated in the body but in larger amounts are toxic or deadly . I started having a reaction to eggs and onions after eating egg sandwiches every single day for years , and I became so sensitive that I almost died from not being able to breathe from a very small amount . But I did an elimination diet to figure it out and by not eating that for several years have become much less sensitive ! I think the culprit was a buildup of sulfur . I just wanted to let people know that there sensitivity , maybe reversable , by eliminating the rite foods !

People with allergies should take a trip to India. They'll either return with a fixed immune system. or they won't return at all! it's good either way. 😉

I totally agree that living too clean is causing immune systems to go crazy. I live in south Asia and here we care very little about hygiene. and yet I've only seen one person in my life who has allergies. Allergies aren't nearly as common here as they are in developed countries.

I think the increase in allergies in western/developed countries is mostly due to the way they raise their children, overly protected from environment. Even in developing countries we see difference in the percentage of allergic children in urban and rural settings.

Also, I have a question regarding the microbiome of allergy-prone and normal people. Is the reduced microbiome results in allergies or the over-sensitive immune system (due to allergies) results in lower microbiome?

I did bi-weekly shots for several years and still have them, did nothing. Even though pollution wasn't mentioned here someone should look at that if they haven't, I go camping up north, surrounded by pollen and have almost no symptoms without taking any meds, in the burbs I have to pop them several times a day even if I'm indoors...

I spent the first 19 years of my life blessedly allergy-free, and then I went to stay with my aunt in Colorado, where the trees were totally different. My immune system didn't like that, and now all the trees and plants that I grew up give me the worst allergies.
