And so where it's more easy for allergens to get into our bodies.

So there's all kinds of hypotheses, but we do know.

Can I hit you with some more?

Sure.

Well, I mean, I talked to this guy, Jeff Wilson, at the University of Virginia.

He's done a lot of really good alpha-DL research.

And one thing he talks about is, look, tick bites of all kinds just boost antibody levels across the board, right?

And the interesting thing is that you can have really high antibody levels and not have any allergies.

And weird things can trigger it, like stress can trigger it.

you can get this called chronic eukaryitis or something.

I got the name wrong, but it works where you have these sudden flare-ups of hives or rashes, you know?

And you've had this kind of baseline of antibodies in your blood the whole time, and something is triggering it.
