If you dont have allergy symptoms already, by the time you watch the ads on the TV youll have at least one. They may seem extreme, but if you are an allergy sufferer they probably seem tame compared with the real thing. If you dont have allergies count yourself amongst the lucky.
Sneezing, itching, headaches and more seem to appear out of nowhere in the spring and the fall. At first you might think its the flu but evidence of seasonal changes quickly put that notion to rest.
Or, maybe pollen doesnt bother you. Maybe its animals instead. There have been many a joke told about the gal who had to choose between her cat and her boyfriend. Doesnt say much about the relationship does it?
Seriously, there are just about as many allergies as there are people that have them. You may be experiencing allergy symptoms and not even know it! Pet dander and pollen are only two known allergies.
As a matter of fact, there are allergies that are actually life threatening. Just ask someone who is allergic to shellfish, mold or bee stings for example.
Practically any medicine cabinet in the country has at least one product for allergies in it. As far as our medical technology goes, we have made tremendous strides.
Again, there is much more to allergies than just pollen. Food allergies can be one of the worst types. Some are more common than others but there is one thing remaining constant. Abdominal pain the likes of which you have never experienced is one of the most debilitating symptoms.
If you or a loved one suspect you have any kind of allergy, the first thing you need to is get answers to your questions. You can spend hours researching that information or you can find it in You and Your Allergies.
Easy to read, You and Your Allergies is written in plain English so anyone can unravel the strange world of allergies. There are some very rate allergies that affect a limited number of people.
What you may not know, however, is that there are many people who suffer from allergies to things that most of us consider part of our daily lives. How many of us enjoy PP&J? Who would think that something as simple as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be deadly?
Did you know that there are people who cant allow even one tiny piece of a shell from shrimp, crab or lobster to pass their lips? If they do it could put their life in danger. Its hard to imagine not being able to enjoy lobster!
Mold is another problem. Yes, most of us have heard about toxic mold, but even plain old everyday mold is deadly to someone who has a mold allergy. This people cant eat blue cheese or mushrooms, foods that most if us take for granted!
You and Your Allergies also spells out secondary side effects. Airborne allergies can result in problems like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder.)
Everyone knows that smoking is bad for you but for someone allergic to smoke it presents even greater risk.
Whether environmental or food type, allergies in children can be very troubling. Care must be taken to insure that allergies do not become allergic rhinitis developing into asthma.
With proper diagnosis and care, living with allergies can be easily managed. Getting the proper diagnosis may seem daunting but the end result is worth the effort.
This is particularly true as it applies to your children. Some childhood allergies actually disappear as the child reaches adulthood.
We could go on and on about allergies and the importance of diagnosis and treatment. The best thing to do is get your copy of You and Your Allergies and get your questions answered now.
