Did you hear about the study on reexposure to allergens?

Yeah, I read that it can actually help with allergies over time.

It's interesting how our bodies can adapt with reexposure like that.

For sure! It makes me think about how we respond to other things too.

Root Explanation

Reexposure → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "exposure" (from Latin "exponere", meaning to put out or expose). The word "reexposure" means the act of exposing something again.

Memory Tip

Think of 'again' ('re-') and 'putting out' ('exponere') — that's why reexposure means to expose something again.
