Why do nerds have so many allergies?

One of the ways you get really high IQ is a mutation that makes your nerves faster than their insulation can handle, which is one reason autistics are clumsy. In general the signalling is stronger, but the inhibition isn't strong enough to regulate it.

The immune system also functions partially by nervous input, and always relies on non-nervous signalling and communication. 

What happens when an immune system receives signals that are stronger than it can handle? Allergies. It overreacts.


In short this video is middling but it has a good point buried in there.

Regrettably for your veiled criticism, this seems to lead to higher intelligence.
