Yes, TL. It is already known that the streptococcus and the staphylococcus are at least triggers or even maybe more causal with a number of people.
I just heard an interview on the radio of two people talking about Kim Kardashian, one is a well known dermatologist in the Netherlands. He said that it is a genetic driven disease, with about 60 genes that can have influence, but in the same sentence he said that anyone can get it.
For me.... that is contradictory.
And in our little poll we also see a kind of 50/50 situation, that there is a significant group without having ancestors with Psoriasis.
Hypothesis: If it is a genetic disease, then there is no reason that you will get Psoriasis if those genes are ok.
Our small poll and the doc shows: it seems that also people without ancestors with P can get it, the doc says: ‘anyone can get it’.
Conclusion: the hypothesis must be false.
