A controversial theory may explain the real reason humans have allergies
Allergies may have evolved as a way of protecting our ancestors by flushing out toxic chemicals.

Super exciting to hear a fresh view on allergies. I need to look this guy up.
"For now, however, Medzhitov would just be happy to get people to stop seeing allergies as a disease, despite the misery they cause. “You’re sneezing to protect yourself. The fact that you don’t like the sneezing, that’s tough luck,” he said, with a slight shrug. “Evolution doesn’t care how you feel.”"
