Hair loss from being sick

right around this time (fall) all the farm's big and small In the Michigan country side have there harvest party's and we were on a tour, at one of the stops I was convinced to try some "fresh real cream" and not long before that raw unfiletered apple cider, that night I became very sick, nine days In bed sick, I was told that was what It from, I dont think It was month and hair from the back of my head started getting spots, before long 75% of It was gone, so far just my scalp area, not so much my face, some In one eyebrow, has anyone experienced this or know anyone, Its been 12yrs now, and not much has changed, just wondering what could I exspect, or If Its possible to make a call like that.

Alopecia is now thought to be genetic (see the Research in Discussions), but also sort of "dormant." Many believe food, chemical changes, environmental changes or stress can activate the alopecia. No one knows for sure yet. I got AU once when living in a rural area of the western U.S., so it may even be exposure to animals or the chemicals used in weed/pest control (thus in water, air, crops or dirt, too). Mystery.

So It could have been dormant, and what I ate may have triggered It, I have never been able to figure out why just scaple area, why not my face or could that be comming ? It's been 12yrs, I dont to talk your ear off, thank you

The genes found also appear with other conditions (see Research section on Discussions for my posts), and there may be a family link. I think 16 gene markers are found in those with AU, as opposed to AA with 12. Probably none of us can afford gene testing, and just have to see which type of alopecia we get. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

Sounds like yours is AA or AT. I had AA ages 10-20, then growth to late 30s, AU for about a year in 1994, then AT only. Everyone is different.
