Today, almost one in three people are affected by allergic diseases and the numbers continue to increase steadily. According to the predictions of many allergists one in two will be allergic in 10 years. The percentage of allergy sufferers has also doubled in 15 years in industrialized countries, while this figure reached barely 5% in the early 1970s. Allergies are ranked fourth among diseases by the WHO.
Thousands of allergens can potentially cause allergic manifestations. Among the most common are mites, pollens, animals, molds, food, etc. The interior of dwellings is 5 to 10 times more polluted than the outside air. The loss of simple habits, such as hanging sheets on the window sills, a situation that is now observed only exceptionally, even in the villages, has only increased the number of allergic.
The problem is that more than 50% of allergy sufferers are not diagnosed as such. They do not benefit from appropriate treatment, are embarrassed on a daily basis and above all, their allergy may worsen over the years.
