In 30 Years More than Half of People are Allergic
According to the latest release of Pedro Guardia, MD, chief of the Allergic Unit Hospital Virgen Macarena (Sevilla), “in 20 or 30 years allergic disorders will increase until a quota of 50% of the population”, substantial increase taking now that figure has slashing 25 percent.
Guard was speaking during the World Allergy Week.
The specialist warns of the causes of this change in the impact of allergy, and in his words “are mainly due to change in lifestyle,” noting that “air pollution worsens the patient’s situation and inflame the mucous membranes of body, benefiting Allergy virus entry.
In addition, the environmental pollution affects the majority of plants (which are living organisms), which in turn react to protect themselves by producing substances that make them more allergenic to humans.
Another major factor, although it sounds contradictory, is that society is “much more neat” and supports a lesser extent allergy-causing bacteria. Thus, the immune system, in the absence of “enemies” routine to “create” by itself, as the examples of mites or pollen, which in principle need not be harmful to the human body.
The expert says the best treatment for these cases is to prevent and correct diagnosis of the disorder, since not enough to know the disease, but also to find what causes it.
So alert the specialist that he will suffer the population increase in just three decades, a fact that will mean more health spending at the state level to address new and more generous conditions.
Finally, concludes Guard denouncing the plight faced by some regions in the prevention and treatment of allergies. Puts eg Andalusia, where the Allergology only contemplated in large hospitals.
