More Europeans Likely To Suffer From Ragweed Allergy

More Europeans Likely To Suffer From Ragweed Allergy
A pan-European study organised by GA²LEN, the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network, tested more than 2000 patients to ragweed allergy in 10 European countries (1). Results published this week on the Allergy journal website (2) show an unexpected extension of allergic sensitisation to ragweed across Europe (3). The study indicates that more and more Europeans are likely to suffer from ragweed allergy or already have an allergy to ragweed.
