Who would've thought! People have only been saying it for decades.
Because up to now it was anecdotes and hearsay. Much like "living under a powerline gives you cancer" used to be anecdotes and hearsay, but now known not to be true.
It's not the powerlines, it's the hermetically sealed life of the city where people disinfect everything and live in air conditioned houses with doors and windows shut. Without being stimulated to defended against bacteria, your immune system goes apeshit on harmless stuff like dust and pollen. That's why you have bad allergies.
