An Epidemic of Absence: A New Way of Understanding Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases by Moises Velasquez-Manoff

4.0

My lone complaint about this book is the density of information, which made it a challenging read for someone without any kind of biology experience beyond high school. It made me somewhat terrified to have children, given the various maladies that may await them in our increasingly sanitized world. This is a fascinating read if you're at all interested in the relative explosion of allergies, asthma, and other immune system issues.
