    Hayfever was first described as far back as ancient Greek literature.
    By the 1700s, English diaries comment on "Summer afflictions" describing hayfever and noting those who can afford, move to the sea side for the summer.
    I am just astounded that there's no cure. But then, as my Bio Chemist lecture at Cambridge once said "why sell a cure to a non life threatening allergy when they make billions on drugs that help reduce the effects"
    I also find it interesting to observe that actors, politicians, sportsman, singers, monarchs show neither sneezing fits or any signs of hayfever?! Must be just a HUGE coincidence that all these folks haven't got hayfever?!

    • @RBuckminsterFuller
      @RBuckminsterFuller 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Silvan Geissmann These helminths wouldn't shut the immune system down, they'd make your immune system concentrate its efforts towards an actual threat, regulating immune reactions.

    • @TheRoyalInstitution
      @TheRoyalInstitution  9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Silvan Geissmann Worms pacify our immune response by deactivating certain immune cells which means that our immune response is less strong against things such as worms and allergens. It's mode of action is focussed particularly on the IgE pathway. IgE is the antibody that is involved in parasitic infections and in allergic responses, but not in much else (though this could lead to slightly higher vulnerability to secondary parasitic worm infections). Instead, it's the IgG antibody that is most active in our bodies in the fight against most human pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. HIV on the other hand directly infects immune cells and actually takes residence in there. It gradually shuts down our entire cell mediated immune response by either directly or indirectly killing off a vital part of the system - CD4+ T cells.
