I don't know the quality of the research, but I suppose it could help explain the increase in allergies and other immune system issues. Children's bicrobiomes these days are probably significantly different from earlier ages of the world. The cause of the increase in allergies probably doesn't have just one cause, but rather a number of factors such as this one adding up.
The paper notes that: "Human cell studies have discovered 12,13-diHOME actively lowers the activity and volume of Tregs, a type of immune cell known to suppress allergic inflammation." Anything that affects Tregs might affect ME.
I'm a bit surprised that they're linking lower Tregs with common allergies though; I thought type I allergies was a different immune system.
