Comment Comment by ceejayoz > I'd say the same thing about asthma and food allergies too, seems that half the kids today are allergic to something, need inhalers, etc.I mean, if you were deathly allergic to eggs in the 1800s, you died. Very early.If smoke sent you into respiratory distress, you died. Very early.Or see the "left-handedness epidemic". It is probably not massively more prevalent now than it was in 1900s, even if that's what the stats say. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-overall-rate-of-left... parent ceejayoz 11 months ago
