In fact, allergic diseases were not common more than 100 years ago, but increased rapidly in the last 20 or 30 years. It is obvious that genetic factors can not be taken as the whole cause of the outbreak of allergic diseases. Environmental factors, dietary structure, intestinal microorganisms, antibiotics and pollution are the influencing factors.
