Allergies: What’s Real, What’s Hype, and What’s Making It Worse - Lab 117
Sunday, 9 November, 2025
It feels like everyone’s sneezing, coughing, or cutting out gluten—but what’s really behind the allergy explosion? Titi and Zakiya dig into why seasonal allergies seem worse than ever, how climate change and “too much cleanliness” play a role, and what the difference is between an allergy, an intolerance, and just being sensitive. With allergist and immunologist Dr. Purvi Parikh, they unpack myths from TikTok tests to peanut panic, reveal how science is rethinking early exposure, and call out how pop culture turned asthma into a punchline. Dope Labs is where science meets pop culture. Because science is in everything and it’s for everybody.
