Overview

  • Peterson’s daughter Mikhaila confirmed he has chronic inflammatory response syndrome, a genetic immune disorder that impairs detoxification of mold and bacteria in indoor air.
  • A severe flare-up occurred after he was exposed to a moldy environment while clearing his grandfather’s house, exacerbating symptoms he has struggled with since 2017.
  • He has suspended his podcast and postponed or canceled international events, including a Brazil appearance and parts of his European tour, to focus on treatment.
  • Family statements say he is showing positive response to therapy despite experiencing significant pain and a challenging recovery process.
  • The Daily Wire and commentator Ben Shapiro asked fans to send well-wishes, and select new episodes of Peterson’s “Answer the Call” series will continue to be released online.
