Mistletoe is a curious thing. Why do we associate it with Christmas, why do we kiss under it? We don’t really know the answers. We do know it is a parasite, drawing water and nutrients off the tree it lives in, forming a sort of symbiotic relationship with the tree.

Humans are not that dissimilar. We also have micro-organisms living in and on us which are essential for us to survive. An imbalance in these microorganisms, so called microbial dysbiosis could be responsible for some diseases with atopic dermatitis being one of the most studied in dermatology. Tackling this microbial dysbiosis could be another treatment in our arsenal for this common, chronic itchy skin condition.
