A recent survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Tivic Health, a bioelectronic medicine company, showed more than half of the people (62%) who participated in the survey believe most common ailments will be cured or at least contained within the next 100 years.
Of the 2,000 U.S. adults surveyed, many believed migraines (52%), allergies (47%) and the common cold (43%) would not be as prevalent as they are today.
While the outlook of those surveyed looks optimistic, two-thirds of participants who claimed they have allergies said their symptoms have actually gotten worse, with 75% of those respondents living in the Northeast, according to Tivic. "Overall, more than half attribute this to increased indoor and outdoor pollution (58%) and rising temperatures (56%)," a news release on the survey’s findings said.
