This is a very insightful and beneficial talk --good to listen to for skin microbiome basics. Thank you Heidi.

What was the difference in fungi in people who get AD and the controls who don't? Could trigger like IgE (say dust mites) be triggering an already present persistent local fungus to react triggering a bacterial biome disruption that then sets off the immune system producing AD? I'd like to see a list of theories. Thanks for sharing this information.
