Does living in a 'westernised' country put you at greater risk for allergy and atopy? The science and statistics are saying yes. The major drivers for allergy and atopy are multifactorial and complex but indeed, almost all circumstances relate back to modernisation and the industrial revolution. Society's obsession with sterilisation and being 'germ-free' has put us at risk. Now, in Australia, 25% of the population can expect to be diagnosed with allergy at some point in their life. Today we welcome back Nicole Bijlsma, author of "Healthy Homes; Healthy Families" and leading environmental health expert who takes us through these varied risks and how we can intervene in practical ways to minimise the incidence of allergy and atopy in our modern lives.
