Allergies. Modern Life and Me
Description
Allergies are on the riseand reaching epidemic proportions, but curiously only in the western world. Professor Graham Rook believes that the changes we have made to our environment are impacting our microbiome—the bacteria that live in and on every one of us—and that this is having a knock-on effect on our immune system. BBC Horizon puts the lives of two ordinary families under the microscope to see if the theory plays out in the real world. From their food to the way they wash their hands, will the experiment offer an insight into why allergies are increasing? A BBC Production.
