Allergic: Our Irritated Bodies in a Changing World by Theresa MacPhail

5.0

An amazing and well researched book. Interesting throughout with a mix of amazing asides (political immunity predates medical immunity) while staying focused. The medical anthropology done in this book is outstanding and involved research with dozens if not hundreds of people. My understanding of allergies has expanded as well as my knowledge of treatments. Allergies are extremely complicated and overlooked. I’d recommend this book to anyone.
