REALLY explains why girls tend to explode into a high risk demographic for fatalities-- right after puberty. 

I also have to wonder if this might not be a good reason to discuss the possible advantages to progestogen-only hormonal birth control methods over those which contain estrogen analogues.   

Interesting.

Very interesting.  And while DS is obviously not female, his allergies (seasonal and animal) went totally haywire around the start of puberty - which is when he had a anaphylactic reaction to my friend's poodle.
