In fact, baldness can be life threatening, as many people try to cure it using risky drugs and methods that can be life threatening (some of them FDA-approved). And we are talking about many millions of persons. Not a joke.

The biggest problem is that people see it as normal (unattractive usually - but normal), because they have always seen bald men around them. That has been the biggest factor working against hairloss research. Ironically, the same people who say its ok start panicking once they start losing hair themselves.
