As part of this issue of MEDICUS’ wider focus on how the environment affects health, the MEDICUS team is taking a deeper look into what’s going on when the body perceives things from the environment as a threat. We’re, of course, talking about allergies. And joining us on this episode are:
- Our special, preteen guest co-host Juno Young, who had a million questions about allergies
- And immunologist Ashley St John, an associate professor at Duke-NUS who leads the laboratory of immunity and immune pathology
This episode was produced by Nicole Lim, senior editor at Duke-NUS for MEDICUS.
