Why You Suddenly Have Allergies
When Dr. Gailen Marshall was training to become a physician, he was taught that allergies were a kid thing. “Back in the day, the allergist’s office was full of children,” says Marshall, who is the president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. “If you ever thought about doing allergy testing or allergy shots in someone older than 40, that’s because you were just a money-grubbing doctor.”
A lot has changed since then. In 2021, about a quarter of U.S. adults reported seasonal allergies, compared to 19% of children.

COVID-19 Shows Why the World Needs a Pandemic Agreement
Today marks four years since I said the global outbreak of COVID-19 could be characterized as a pandemic.
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
