alt Hacker NewsDaily allergy tablets are associated with huge increases in early onset Alzheimer’s. Glad you found something that works, but might be good to get some of the allergen injections :)

Only first gen, 2nd gen does not have this issue anymore or it’s greatly reduced

I believe it depends on which ones, the older gen or certain classes of antihistamines

Misinformation.
Only first-generation antihistamines with anticholinergic effects are associated with cognitive decline in elderly patients.

Wait, what?? Now I'm getting in panic mode because I do take regularly anti-hystaminic tablets/pills (the newer ones, based on ebastine because they don't make me feel sleepy)

Where are getting that from?
All I can find is about 1st gen antihistamines (i.e. Benadryl, which I doubt many people take daily, because of the drowsiness).
Even for those, evidence seems to be mixed at best. "Huge increases" seems like hyperbole.
