Join Claudia Hammond and guests in a conversation about allergies. They will discuss the different types of allergies – from food to bee-stings, and examine whether allergies are still on the increase and what can be done to prevent them. 

Claudia will present the event and interview the speakers. Then the audience will have the chance to ask questions. You can participate or just listen in. 

The event will be recorded live with an audience and edited into a programme to be broadcast on the BBC World Service as part of ‘The Evidence’ series. After broadcast, episodes of ’The Evidence’ will be available on the BBC website.

This event will have live speech-to-text transcription, which will be displayed on a large screen.
