Seoul United 1 St Pats Athletic 1

So we had a tied game for the second in succession. I started the game again but we struggled in the first half and went behind. In the second we came out really well and equalised and looked like we could win the game. I had to go off because I was pretty much dying with a little bit of asthma with 12 mins to go. Then Eyal and I went to TGI Fridays and I had possibly the biggest burger in the world! Add that to the 11 ounze steak from Outback the previous night and I’ve had a lot of meat this weekend!
I think I’ve managed to get my computer hooked up to live Premiership games from home so hopefully I’ll get to see the great Watford every week now!

National Health Interview Survey, United States, 1998--2009: Percentage of Children Aged less than 18 Years with Reported Food, Skin, or Hay Fever or Respiratory Allergies

I am copying the image and wording directly from the CDC’s website.  Households were randomly contacted and asked three questions: “During the past 12 months, has your child had any kind of food or digestive allergy?” and “During the past 12 months, has your child had eczema or any kind of skin allergy?” and a positive response to either “During the past 12 months, has your child had hay fever?” or “During the past 12 months, has your child had any kind of respiratory allergy?”

“From 1998–2000 to 2007–2009, the percentage of children who were reported to have a food allergy during the preceding 12 months increased from 3.5% to 4.6%, and the percentage who were reported to have a skin allergy increased from 7.3% to 10.7%. The percentage of children reported to have hay fever and/or respiratory allergy was 16.6% during 2007–2009, a level that did not differ substantially from earlier years.”   Food and skin allergies are increasing.
