You may dismiss astrology as a harmless pseudo-science, but your birthday could have more importance than you think. Some scientists now believe the month in which you were born may predispose you to certain illnesses.
Medical experts worldwide have found specific illnesses and behavioral disorders are more prevalent among people born during certain months or seasons of the year. The list includes asthma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, dyslexia, diabetes and others.
Schizophrenia, for example, has been shown to be more common among people born in January, February and March. Narcolepsy, a sleep disorder, is more frequent among people born in March and less common among those born in September.
