Think of it as a radical body modification. Suppose someone wasn’t really a fan of having hair at all and wanted to just not. Most of the scientific research on hair loss has been about stopping or reversing it, but in all that research have we learned whether we could cause it to happen on purpose? I don’t mean conventional hair removal, and I don’t mean laser or electrolysis which both have significant limitations and wouldn’t be feasible for total hair loss on the entire body.
I mean like a vaccine for hair, an injection someone could take that would cause their immune system to attack all their hair follicles in the same way we see in alopecia universalis, so they have literally no hair at all anywhere on their body permanently. It feels like it should be possible, especially now with the increasing use of mRNA vaccines.
Wouldn’t you seriously fuck up your balance and hearng since part of the inner ear relies on hair in a complex system? This seems like a bad idea.
Read literally the first paragraph of the wikipedia page. “People with the condition are usually healthy and have no other symptoms and a normal life expectancy.”
