Ever wonder why your body reacts so intensely to seasonal allergies? In this episode of Sick Health With Kevin Ban, MD, we’ll go on a journey with dual-board certified immunologist and internal medicine physician Dr. Tania Elliot, exploring the fascinating science behind allergic reactions.
Imagine this: your body’s ancient system for eliminating parasites is just plain old BORED. With nothing much to do in the modern world where parasites are at a minimum, your Th2 cells will attack just about anything to keep busy. Conversely, in underdeveloped locations, where parasites run rampant, allergic responses are almost non-existent.
In just 45 minutes, here’s just some of the information you’ll master:
1. You’ll discover the intricate mechanisms of allergic responses.
2. You’ll learn about common myths surrounding allergies and their debunking.
3. You’ll understand how allergies impact everyday health and wellbeing.
4. You’ll gain practical tips to manage and mitigate allergic reactions effectively.
