What is it with all these allergies? It used to be rare to run across someone with an allergy. Now I know fewer and fewer people who don't have one.

I remember reading somewhere that the prevalence of allergies is due to the fact that we no longer have as many parasites living in our bodies. I can't remember the exact explanation, but basically the massive allergic reactions people have to certain things is their bodies' misdirected reaction to a non-existent parasitic invader.
