oh, ready knows. welcome to tech told me about hackers and paralyzed me to your societies. computers then now some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can they go wilson for, and that's how they can also go terribly. what you know, you do with spring flowers, pets, eggs, all seemingly harmless. but if you suffer from allergies, they can make life miserable. what are the causes? why are more and more people developing them?

how can they be prevented everything you need to know about allergies coming up on in good shape? oh, and i like he is in gwinnett allergy is basically just a small malfunction in an otherwise excellent immune system is of course and think of it like the police accidentally releasing the wrong wanted poster hyphen housekeeping. professor tossed in suburbia is one of the world's leading experts in allergy research. your new system of allergy sufferers is unusually sensitive to foreign substances leading to symptoms such as runny noses, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and breathing issues. triggers include pollen and dust mites that can lurk and mattresses for can also trigger the body's allergic response.

use what happens. the immune system detects something that's actually harmless, like cat for as a danger. it launches a series of responses to get rid of the french and causes an overreaction. and that leads to the typical energy symptoms. tree pollens are some of the worst allergens . a birch tree, for example, can release about $22000000000.00 pollen grains per season. a nightmare for allergy sufferers, their immune system mistakes the pollen for dangerous invader, and overreact, sending out a whole army of antibodies. they then trigger the release of histamine which boosts blood flow to the area and causes inflammation. histamine also docs to special receptors in the body and causes symptoms like itching sneezing and a rash. the world health organization says about 1700000000 people

worldwide who suffer from allergic rhinitis and 300000000 from asthma. the numbers have risen in recent decades. in as in, in torpor should have an asia up in tropical regions. dust, mites and mold are the main allergens they put sent, and singapore. 60 percent of the population is no allergic to dust. mites in not leaking like yours and the main one and northern regions built as pollen from birch trees. ha ha. in north america, it's ragweed, ambrosia, poland, wheat, and boise appointed. and, and in south america it's dust mites or mold we let sona, or depending on the claim its own grass pollen hub as applied climate change is one reason for the increasing number of people suffering from allergies. northern regions are becoming warmer, extending the pollen season. and air pollution in urban areas is another factor assistance uses teams to the immune system. certain stance is such as pollen have

become more irritating than the coated with suits. for example, as it is in our modern indoor lifestyle and also exposes us to other pollutants that trigger and immune response. that's her dust mite. i can end up as targets for our immune system. the housetop men in physical children are especially prone to allergies. the tendency towards allergies can also be inherited. that's why many parents wonder what they can do to prevent them. as my mountain is near smoking during pregnancy should be avoided, the for infants shouldn't be exposed to cigarette smoke and should be introduced to solid foods. early in the past, the thinking was that certain foods should be avoided. i, we know know the opposite is true and children should have is very the diet as possible from the beginning and neon al alpha. what else can allergy sufferers do? city dwellers should only open their windows between 6 and 8

a. m. and then keep them shut, take off and stored dirty clothes in the bathroom, take a shower and see a doctor. affordable allergy, medicines and treatments are widely available. and again, that, that oft, unfortunately, allergies are often played down. here i often hear someone say it's just a sneezing and a runny nose. no big deal, filthy, but a child with an untreated rhinitis is 40 percent more likely that to see their grades suffer. it affects performance, even for adults and working, i'm from the machine has no need to live with the symptoms. we have very good treatment options that have very few side effects smoothly. cadden hub is to, to help you research is that found that children from the countryside unless likely to suffer from allergies. that's because of they got micro biome which develops in the 1st year of life and acts like a protective shield. it appears that spending,

i'm on a farm and especially in a cow barn could play a role. scientists are now figuring out how these findings can be used to help protect city kids to des. johan, i'm sure we have 2 ideas for how we might prevent asthma. and allergies, and i mean 1st drinking minimally process cow's milk could help with the under the, the, and 2nd we're looking into developing a nose spray made with substances from farm environments which could also offer protection dentures forgotten. but until that's widely available, there's plenty that parents in both rural and urban environments, can do to reduce their child's risk of developing allergies. look at me, i'm 8 months old and my surroundings have already changed a lot, including when it comes to allergies. mom here she's cleaning up,

does she realize what she's doing? if my immune system really needs a lot of input? so i hope she doesn't back. he went to a lot job every when viruses, bacteria and fun going most of them on to threaten and dust doesn't do anything to me at all. there's just so much going on. i'd love to tell my mom to take it easy with all that cleaning my immune system and i have to be able to distinguish between good and bad bacteria. oh mum, you always mean so well so that i don't have allergic reactions to everything later on. you should let me explore lots of different things that i my parents do lots of things just right. including with food mammals, milk is my favorite. but when it comes to voiding, ha,

i have to start eating other foods to an important part of training. my immune system takes place in the intestines, that's where billions of bacteria live, and they'll help determine my allergies in the future. how? let me explain. my got wait a 2nd. someone turn on the lights. that's how my intestines look to day. and that is how my intestines looked when i was born. hello. the 1st inhabitants of my intestines came from my mother's marginal flora. they boldly introduced themselves to my immune system, just like the milk bacteria to came directly from mama. and then more and more was added to it from bottles, from plates and from the ground. there are so many wonderful different bacteria and fungi. they show the immune cells in the intestinal

balls what it's like outside and what they need to prepare for. studies on thousands of babies like me have shown that a certain bacteria aren't found in my intestines. by now, it's more likely that i could get asthma later. ah, please. k. fortunately, we still don't know exactly which bacteria other more important ones. there are simply too many of them with what we know for sure is what we shouldn't be doing. like taking antibiotics. they kill good bacteria and bring the intestinal flora out of whack. oh sure when i'm really sick, i'm glad to have antibiotics around. mamma takes care of me. speaking of mama, she can only do so much to prevent her own allergies by. she can only do

a bit of retroactive tweaking by ingesting good bacteria. it works like this. the good bacteria turn complex carbohydrates into fatty acids that strengthen the immune system. those carbohydrates are found in food that have to be chewed well, like whole grain, zoer crowds and nuts. they keep your jaw and you're got busy. and that's a good thing. the news training for allergy prevention is fresh roll neck and not just for baby ah, the bacteria and fresh rule milk are not disgusting at all. and a lot of them seem to be especially valuable to amune system. mm hm. packed of intestinal bacteria on the development of allergies are still being researched by

grownups lu, hollen, animal fat and to dust mites are among the common allergens, but around 20000 allergens have been identified to date, like fragrant substances and perfume and detergents. foods such as apples and none, including anything that contains them. proteins and milk, and grains. and also insect of n. m pipes and stings can cause very serious reactions. but there are other rear allergies. a paper ology can cause rashes and breathing difficulties. anyone with an alcohol allergy needs to avoid mouthwash and certain cleaning products. sperm allergy symptoms include etching and a burning sensation and then there's nero dermatitis, which is also called a topic eczema. it's a skin condition characterized by chronic itching scaling. it also goes hand in

hand with allergies, so it's important that it's properly treated. the cambered and etc, nor an emergency doctor sent us here because it was sorry bad howard. his skin was completely infected and he had open weeping words. it wasn't just separate patches and they all kind of merge. and he had open words on his face as well 1st, and we were admitted straight away and my 1st had to find out what was wrong. that's why the 1st stay lasted a good 3 weeks doctor. yes, oftentimes screw driver from the doe out at this allergy center. doctors from different disciplines have been working together to help reuben, his neuro dermatitis, also called a topic, eczema was so severe that it affected his growth d to have p a. the treatment was so intense that we brought the dermatologist on board quite quickly. that's, we'll go with hutton film i getting panata, vice puda food. this is a great example of the importance of interdisciplinary work, di,

what was initially a skin problem that ended up causing a long list of pediatric. su, sign special. none to hold his skin was affected off, which led to itching and loss of sleep. and that lead to low food intake and weight loss. symptoms of nutritional deficiency final, as probably by little vazo by the problem with reuben was that as soon as he ate anything, he started to ruling classes. that's very common at that age holiday. but when seriously inflamed skin comes into contact with saliva, it causes even more redness and itching your kids, went to sleep. and so he didn't want to eat anything. and that's actually combined with poor sleep, was what led to his failure to thrive, a food. the doctors 1st tried giving him antibiotics, ointments creams, and a special diet. but rubin had to come back just a few weeks later. his condom in effect, mid evenings. but i couldn't go shopping with him on my on or driving to town with him in the car to fun. when louis sitting in the car sate in the back,

he'd scratch his skin so badly that it was hard for me to concentrate on driving. and of course that made his skin so much worse, had phone calls in the end, we realised he needed to be traded. we caught his own limits and not just caught his eye and crane, which is a fairly common treatment in your demo titus. he needed systemic called his own therapy taken as liquid, caught his ones after the problem was that rubin would scratch the g areas until they bled. that led to fresh infections, which would then in turn, each end lead to more scratching. rubens doctors hoped that systemic steroids therapy would interrupt this vicious circle that won't allow the help light his skin did improve somewhat on the sink, a guess non good. he started eating and drinking a bit, but, but he still had flats when it became worse again. and, and, and the cortisone caused side effects to hold them off. he developed what's called cushing syndrome and fix it. a bloated round moon face which can happen and

children won't position, lest he can of him come ok. sorry much for such a little one to deal with. i always said, i wish i could have it instead of him, but of course i couldn't even manage the allergy center team had to reconsider vasqua men of better math. we thought about other kinds of interdisciplinary approaches had done. were there other possibilities, t and then the team, disgusted by a logic treatment as a possible alternative, and i do not even they are on demand, biologics or a new class of drugs that target specific aspects of the immune system. reuben gets an injection of one of these drugs every 4 weeks. it's not fun for anyone, but the benefit is huge. almost like a 1000 us day before we started this therapy and rubin at spend a good part of his young life in the hospital. in cochran, also off touch bases, understanding since starting it, he hasn't been in the hospital at all. i need you to have thought to nacken muster

as an artist kent, it's like he's a totally different child and fun all the side effects at the cortisone, which took months to get under control are now gone. hatchback office, what it was so good to see him started to eat again to enjoy food and to grow and fish mixed with reuben's height and weight are no normal for his age. is some good from where so lucky that he's such a cheerful kid. last year when we had our 1st 3 wake hospital stay, he went through a lot, i bought it, but he carved really well and he was always in achieve full married effect. he made all the nurses and other stuff, happy. got them laughing fucking fullest math, things would have been harder on may if he weren't such a cheerful, happy go. lucky kid. yeah, with anyone who has an elegy knows they should avoid the triggers. although that's often easier said than done. and a lot of people suffer from

a whole range of allergies. certain medications can provide welcome relief and one form of treatment can get rid of an entity entire me. these days relief for ology symptoms can be quick and easy people. antihistamines help to reduce the severity of the reaction over they're not secure for the allergy . allergy symptoms are caused mainly by a messenger substance called histamine. antihistamines serve as inverse agonist. they bind to the receptors and block the effect of the histamine. slowing down the allergic response, antihistamines come in different forms, pills worked throughout the body. whereas nasal spray and eyedrops target the symptoms locally.

one of the chief side effects of antihistamines is drowsiness. so with the main symptom is just the runny nose, it's best to stick to a cortisone spray, which reduces inflammation in the nasal passage ways. but while anti allergy medications helped relieve symptoms, they don't treat causes often symptoms, washington overtime. that's why experts recommend starting immunotherapy. also known as hypo desensitization therapy as early as possible. this is the only way an ology can be cured. the idea is to slowly accustomed the immune system to the allergy and the trigger. the patient gets regular small doses of the allergen, usually pleasant injection. at 1st, shots are weekly than monthly and gradually increasing doses that teaches the immune system that the allergen isn't a threat, so that gradually it produces fewer antibodies. it's especially effective for

allergies to grass tree, poland insect venom and dust mites. but it takes 3 to 5 years and about half of patients give up before it's finished. for the treatment only works if you stick with it to the very end. so people have to be patient and make frequent visits to the doctor, which is why relatively few allergy sufferers are willing to do it. ah, but these days, immunotherapy become much more straightforward and can even be done in the comfort of your own home. that's because patient no longer need allergy shots, and sub lingual immunotherapy, they receive special drops or a tablet, which they simply put under their tongue. every morning. lou desensitization is

a useful and effective treatment even for mild allergies. it's also a way of preventing secondary conditions. for example, someone with hay fever, react badly to pollen dust mites or mold they sneeze the loss and had runny nose after months. oh yes, this kind of allergy can spread from the upper to the level respiratory tract. meaning from the nose to the lungs. the patient can then develop allergic asthma, a chronic information of the brumfield chiefs. and that can put a permanent strain on the hot and lungs o running out of the bowl without getting out of breath. for a long time. duke burma couldn't even play with his children. he just couldn't get enough air. had a nissan classes last month. i've never had a typical osmotic where you turn blue or anything like that. 0 one i just always

felt that my breathing was under pressure v as if something were on top of my lungs, least. and i had to use a lot of energy to take a breath, kind of love to put it to wickham, to day dirt, burma can exercise again and he's thrilled. he has serious allergic asthma, which got worse over the years. even though he kept taking more and more cortisone with coughing, shortness of breath and respiratory distress for a long time, his doctors focused on treating the asthma symptoms to prevent them from getting even worse, all life threatening. but that approaches outdated says mark law much a pulmonologist who specializes in asthma. he went down to happy highest to sit in the modern treatment approach as giving patients medicine that prevents the symptoms entirely. as high as they have to take the medicine all the time in his

lower dose as possible to make those yet remotely, but they don't have symptoms. they don't have to go to the hospital. they can live completely normal lives fully normal as leaving for dirt perma takes biologics, bio technologically produced antibodies. the therapies working very well. the only has to go for checkups twice a year. most of the want the nitrogen monoxide content and his breath shows whether his airways are inflamed here, his readings are now in the upper normal range position. if it goes up to this as soon if at all, and i'll, it's a really good outcome of the fact clinically speaking and in terms of how good he feels. and he doesn't need court at that anymore with all its potential side effects. shiny malcolm derb burma's lung function is somewhat compromised by his chronic asthma, but he feels healthy and his lung function results are stable. it's a big change from the time before he started biologics. he needed increasingly

higher doses, of course his own in spray or tablet form high, but he still felt unwell almost every day. dusting the tween molest when the mean they were always side effects. all i didn't feel good. my hands shook, and now i felt jittery from the high doses of cortisone poly salvage my resume in spite of that, i still didn't feel any better thoughts in woodson, beth out, one of the active to day doctors know that long term therapy with caught his own pills often does more harm than good the corticosteroid inhalers are still part of mainstream therapy, and helps suppress inflammation in the airways quite effectively. along with biologics, if need be, that way every patient gets their own treatment plan for it again. misses is ogden . aha! nowadays we have to say this person as this or that kind of asthma, they have allergies or they don't, they have this biomarker and their entire history of they've been in hospital so and so many times what and their mother had to she still d kinda that their history, their children,

would you have to consider all those factors together and come up with a tailor made therapy for that patient. and that therapy will be very effective. happy is to tie with folks out. oh dirk perma is happy with the new approach to injections a month, which he can give to himself these days. he feels a lot better. his tooth was pushed. winston thought fun. i can play football. right? a bicycle wouldn't go jogging. mom, just like regular people. miss him, i understand, of course i might not be able to exert myself quite as much as other people by comparison. but i feel i'm doing great super so good. now, on this quote, with time now for a new tip from ophelia his, he had to guide you through another exercise, this time for your shoulders. with . hi and welcome. do you feel sometimes,
