That is a good question. My theory is that with the better medical care available, people are not dieing from allergic reactions as often, so they reproduce and these kids are more likely to have allergies.

It's mostly pollution and putting preservatives and other bad stuff in packaged foods.

because people use antibacterial soap while they are young which weakens the immune system.
