I would refer back to my peanut butter comment. Or bee stings. Or celery.

Some people are near-sighted. Some have asthma. ADHD. Some have 12 toes. Or two penises.

People are genetically diverse. They just are.

But we know what is behind peanut butter, bee or celery allergies, we know what nearsightedness is etc. I'm just wondering what causes it. I wonder if there's a scientific reason found for it
