10 Hidden Allergy Hotspots in Your Home
Allergic to cancer “Glioma isn’t the first cancer to be negatively correlated with common allergies, says Michael Scheurer, an epidemiologist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Allergy-prone people may fight off colorectal and pancreatic cancer, and even childhood leukemia, better than sniffles-free people, according to some studies. At the other end of the spectrum, allergies that cause asthma may spur lung tumors. Just why these links exist isn’t clear. Allergy sufferers mount heightened immune responses to some foreign or dangerous cells and chemicals, says Scheurer, who was not involved in the study. And cancer cells are certainly dangerous — human immune systems naturally seek them out. The immune systems in people with allergies may just do it better. “They have an overactive immune system, and maybe that’s been protecting them from the development of tumors,” he says.”
