  increased. I am especially interested to know people's views about
  1) air
  pollution and chemicals 2) House dust mite allergies and 3) Reduced
  Th1
  responses to bacterial infections causing more active Th2 responses.

  I will be very grateful for anybody's opinions

 The increasing chronic inescapable stress results in decreased dopamine
levels. The decrease of DA, a potent TH1 agonist and Th2 antagonist,
increases the TH2 cytokines.
