ah, franklin, i already knows. welcome to talking about hackers and paralyzing tire societies. computers than elsewhere. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can only go wilson for, and that's how they can also go terribly, watch it, no need to 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 quin analogy is basically just a small malfunction in an otherwise excellent immune system is of course can think of it like the police accidentally releasing the wrong wanted poster hyphen housekeeping. professor tossed and suburbia is one of the world's leading experts in allergy research. the a 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. animal 4 can also trigger the body's allergic response.

here's 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 over reaction. 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 it, 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 1700000 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 been in asia up in tropical regions. dust, mites and mold are the main allergens sent and singapore. 60 percent of the population is no allergic to dust. mites in not leaking like your in the main one and northern regions built as pollen from birch trees like ha, in north america, it's ragweed, ambrosia, poland, wheat, and palsy applied and and in south america, it's dust mites or mold we let sona, or depending on the claimant's own grasp, poland hub has 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. i'll see as he moved his teams to the immune system. certain substances such as

pollen will have become more irritating when they're coated with suit. for example, sisters, our modern indoor lifestyle and also exposes us to other pollutants, could trigger an immune response. that's her dust mite. i can end up as targets for our immune system. bizarre. the housetop name 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 manhattan can is need smoking during pregnancy should be avoided. definitely 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, had we known or the opposite is true in children should have as varied diet as possible from the beginning and neon alpha. what else can allergy sufferers do? city drove 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. allocated that often unfortunately, allergies are often played. don't miss him. i often hear someone say it's just as sneezing under runny nose, no big deal for nothing but a child with an untreated rhinitis is 40 percent more likely that to see their grade suffer. it affects performance, even for adults are 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 effect smoothly caton hub is the to happier researchers that found that children from the countryside unless likely to suffer from allergies. that's because of that got micro bio, which develops in the 1st year of life and acts like a protective shield. it appears that spending time on a farm and especially in

a cow bon, could play a role frontier. now figuring out how these findings can be used to help protect city kids to these young, i'm sure we have 2 ideas for how we might prevent asthma and allergies hunter. i mean, 1st drinking minimally process cow's milk could help 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. didn't, should spoken that 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? my immune system really needs a lot of input. so i hope she doesn't back a little off. jones or every one 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 my parents do lots of things just right. including with food, mama's milk is my favorite. but when it comes to avoiding allergies,

i have to start eating other foods to an important part of trey, 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 sec some one time 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 virginal 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, unfortunately, 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. she can only do a bit of retroactive tweaking 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 rule 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. liam packed of intestinal bacteria on the development of allergies are still being researched by

grownups lu helen animal for anti dust mites. are among the common allergens, but around 20000 allergens that 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 animal bites and stings can cause very serious reactions. but there are other rare 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 itching 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 or scaling it often goes hand in hand with allergies. so it's important that it's properly treated. the convent in ets ignored an emergency doctor sent us. he had because that was sorry, bad he hauled 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, his well 1st day 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 wakes, dr. s. 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 will go. what hutton feel? magazine panata, vice puda food. this is

a great example of the importance of interdisciplinary work. what was initially a skin problem? ended up causing a long list of pediatric, su, signed festival, and held his skin was affected off, which led to itching and loss of sleep. awesome. and that led to low food intake and weight loss. symptoms of nutritional deficiency final, as probably by little vazo by the problem with ribbon, 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 meant even, it's my. 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 own crane, which is a fairly common treatment for new our demo titus. he needed systemic called his own therapy taken as liquid caught his wounds after the problem was that reuben would scratch the g areas until they bled that lead 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. i guess non good. he started eating and drinking a bit shampoo, but he still had flats when it became worse again. and, and the cortisone cause the side effects to pull them off. he developed what's called cushing syndrome, and a bloated, round moon face,

which can happen and children won't position rusty, can now become as okay, 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 our g center team had to reconsider. vast con, men of better math. we thought about other kinds of interdisciplinary approaches done. were there other possibilities team and then the team discussed a biologic treatment as a possible alternative. and i don't not even the, i'm wondering, 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 it's awkward us day before we started this therapy. reuben, 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 stop to nacken muster as an unskilled. it's like he's a totally different child and fun all the side effects at the court of phone, which took months to get under control are now gone back office. what it was so good to see him starting to eat again to enjoy food and to grow and fish mixed. ah rubens, height and weight are no normal for his age. is some look 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 former in effect, he made all the nurses and all the stuff happy. got them laughing fucking food, my things would have been harder on may if he weren't such a cheerful, happy go. lucky kid. yeah, with anyone who has an allergy 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 wonderful treatments can get rid of an entity entire me. these days relief for allergy symptoms can be quick and easy. 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 work throughout the body. where nasal sprees 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 spree, which reduces inflammation in the nasal passage ways. but while anti allergy medications helped relieve symptoms, they don't treat causes often, symptoms washin over time. that's why experts recommend starting immunotherapy, also known as hypo desensitization therapy as early as possible. this is the only way analogy 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 that 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 everybody knows. but 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, chronic inflammation 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. oh,

and i just always felt that my breathing was under pressure being as if something were on top of my lungs, least. and i had to use a lot of energy to take a breath. and all of them was safe to welcome to day a dog 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 doctor's focused on treating the asthma symptoms to prevent them from getting even worse, all life threatening. but that approaches outdated says mark low, much a pulmonologist who specializes in asthma madana to happy highest has been 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 lima dirk perma takes biologics, biotechnology produced antibodies. the therapies working very well, he only has to go for checkups twice a year. most of them want the nitrogen monoxide content and his breath shows whether his airways are inflamed. his readings are now in the upper normal range. the physician is intercepted yes, as soon as the cal and i'll, it's a really good outcomes. the fact, clinically speaking and in terms of how good he feels and he doesn't need credits on any more with all its potential side effects. chinese malcolm. dirt firm has 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 twin municipal in the mean. they were always side effects. all i didn't feel good. my hands shook them. i felt jittery from the high doses of cortisone poly salish maladies, or in spite of that, i still didn't feel any better thoughts in woodson bethel wanted to act to day. doctors know that long term therapy with quarters on pills often does more harm than good. but corticosteroid inhalers are still part of mainstream therapy, and help 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, a ha. nowadays you 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. they've been in hospital soon so many times and, 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 votes up. oh, dog. burma 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. mm hm. thoughtful, i can't play football right? a bicycles wouldn't. who jogging so much more just like regular people. listen, i'm usually 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 too, but it's all good. now, on the school. time now for a new tip from ophelia, his he had to guide you through another exercise, this time for your shoulders. with
