Clean Environment; High Allergy Rate

July 9th, 2010

Allergies can be a benchmark for the progress of a country. The better environmental sanitation and hygiene a people so there was hardly any infection, the higher the incidence of allergies such as asthma.

There are two T cell, called T helper 1 cells (TH 1) and T helper 2 cells (TH 2). Tues TH 1 increase when an infection, while TH 2 when someone allergic. In healthy conditions, the TH 1 and TH 2 in the body are in balance state.

The more often a person exposed to infection, the TH1 cells are working and TH 2 cells will be suppressed so that the allergy will not appear. This is what explains why in a clean environment, the allergy cases is low.
