Well, I don’t know about Asthma, but I did develop an allergy to it. Now if I take one, I break out in burn-like rashes that take about 3 weeks to heal. It took me about 3 years to figure out what was causing these very painful sores every few months. Nasty stuff.

Another theory has recently been proposed to explain the rising prevalence of asthma in our modern society. With the advent of powerful disinfectants, and a growing obsession with maintaining a “germ-free” environment in both the home and the workplace, childhood exposure to many of the microbes that normally inhabit our world has been significantly reduced in many places, recently.

This is the Asthma theory I agree with. I lived in a pretty dirty, dusty household growing up. I'm perfectly fine. Everyone that I know that grew up in OCD super clean sterile environments have Asthma.

Hepatitis is another serious universal risk ignored.

Running out and getting antibiotics every time you get the sniffles seems to be a huge contributing factor.

I can’t take anything with Acetaminophen in it because it causes severe pain in both of my kidneys that lasts for days and days.

I can’t say for sure about asthma, but too much Tylenol or mixing Tylenol with booze does cause liver failure.
