================== ARTICLE START ==================

About two billion people have allergic complications, according

to estimates of the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology.

Not any other illness, at any moment of history, affected as

much people. Specialists start to face it as an epidemic. Only

in the United States, each year 5 000 people die suffocated

during asthma crises, and 90 million Americans deal daily with

the discomfort of rhinitis and dermatitis, the more common

allergic varieties. Finding the cure or the causes for this

became, thus, a challenge that involves more than interests of

public health.

An allergic person that takes remedy against his type of

allergy will be able to prevent the misfortunes of the

reactions of his immunological system to an allergenic

(examples of allergenics: dust, milk, peanut, insects, pets’

hair, etc.). However, the organism will continue producing

defensive substances that can create an allergic reaction later

on, by getting stronger than the medicine or generating unknown

effects to the person who takes it. This is extremely related

to the causes of the allergies, another shady area recently

illuminated by new researches.

During a lot of time, allergies were thought as hereditary,

given that evidences show that the probability of children who

have allergic parents to develop the illness is of 70%.

However, the advance of the allergic processes in the rhythm of

the technological development and the improvement of the life

conditions made the scientists consider other hypotheses. The

underprivileged populations of the East of Russia, India,

Indonesia and Africa register 50% less incidence of cases of

allergies than rich countries - over all when compared to the

inhabitants of the great European and American metropolises,

where there is more asepsis and medical care. This leads to a

hypothetical explanation to the causes of the allergies, the so

called " hygienical hypothesis " . When observing children who live

in farms of Germany and Austria, where they drink raw milk and

have contact with the land and fertilizers, it was proved that

the incidence of allergic complications among them is 75% less

than in the boys who live in the cities. Another research,

involving 480 cadets of the Italian Air Force disclosed that

the respiratory allergies are less frequent between military

that in their childhood had been exposed to microbes

transmitted through dirty water and meals cooked with this

water. It’s unusual, but dealing with these facts, scientists

are tempted to conclude that the suppression of illnesses as

measles, mumps and even diseases caused mostly in children by

viruses and worms, - all practically eradicated in the

developed countries - can also have its harmful side, since

this makes the immunologic system idle.

The acceptance of the " hygienical hypothesis " is growing in the

medical community and this can lead to adjustments in the way

parents raise their children. Even children who have flues with

more frequency in the first years of their life seem to tend

less to develop allergies.

Super protective parents that do not allow the children to walk

bare-footed, have contact with animals or that only bathe their

babies in mineral or boiled water would be, therefore,

producing negative and contrary consequences to their children.

This thesis is based on the hypothesis that the exposure to the

microbes in infancy strengthens the lymphocytes - white cells of

the blood that act in the defence against parasites, embryos,

etc.

Obviously, this doesn’t mean that you must give in when your

son refuses to take a bath. But it is probable that the human

body is not changing so quickly as the civilization. For

millenniums we have coexisted with viruses and bacteria, and

suddenly we become highly aseptic. Also, our alimentary habits

had never been modified so radically, nor had we as much access

to chemical remedies and other products as we have now.

Probably, in the future, people will try to treat allergies

with a healthy diet and less drug prescriptions.
