Allergic rhinitis is not inherited in a simple Mendelian dominant or recessive pattern. It is a complex trait influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Family history can increase the risk of developing allergic rhinitis, but it is not determined by a single gene with dominant or recessive inheritance.

If you have a latex allergy, it's important to avoid latex balloons and opt for alternative materials like Mylar balloons.

Dilates your veins

Increases your respiration

causes an Inflammation of the tissues

Lactase breaks down lactose through hydrolysis, which is a chemical reaction that involves the breaking of a bond by water. In this process, lactase enzyme catalyzes the reaction that breaks lactose into its two components, glucose and galactose.

If you're strictly counting calories, wheat bread. But potato bread is also gluten free, as well as containing more iron, b-vitamins, thiamin and other nutrients that regular breads don't have. In general, potato bread only has ten more calories per slice- I'd go for the potato bread myself.

This response is called an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity reaction. It can lead to symptoms such as skin rash, itching, swelling, or even more severe reactions like anaphylaxis.

2. Cell-mediated immunity. T cells play a key role in cell-mediated immunity by directly attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response.

No, allergies are caused by proteins that trigger an immune response, and chlorophyll does not contain these proteins. However, some people may be sensitive to other compounds in plants, which may lead to allergic reactions.

The enzyme that converts lactose to glucose and galactose is lactase. Lactase is located in the brush border of the small intestine where it breaks down lactose into its two component sugars, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Yes, it is possible to have an allergic reaction to a tetanus shot, although it is rare. Symptoms may include hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

This has helped heal my kid's dry skin caused by eczema.

After years of searching for an antiseptic and anti-itch product for my son's eczema, we found it in the first aid aisle at Walgreen's: Safe4Hours first-aid antiseptic protectant. Because of the layer of protection my son doesn't itch and we have seen a real marked improvement in irritation. I am so excited that he finally has relief from all the itching. It has no fragrance, and not only does it moisturize his skin, the antiseptic kills bacteria for 4 hours so his open skin won't be infected. It may not work on all eczema cases, but it has truly worked for us!

A cream. It stays longer on skin than lotion, so it has a prolonged effect. A lotion has more water than a cream in it's composition, so it tends to be removed easier than a cream. If a lotion is prefered, is usually because of the area to be treated (ex. scalp), where the lotion has more access to get to the affected area. In this case, a cream is more difficult to administer. Sometimes a lotion is preferred because of the sensation a cream may leave to someone. In fact, the best moisturizers are usually oily based (ex. petroleum based) ... but many people don't like the sensation, may stain clothes, or may be occlusive to the skin.

A scratch test, also known as a skin prick test, is commonly used to diagnose allergies. It involves pricking the skin with a small amount of an allergen and observing for a reaction. The presence of a red, itchy bump at the site of the prick can indicate an allergic reaction to that specific allergen.

Swelling during pregnancy, also known as edema, is caused by increased blood volume and pressure on blood vessels from the growing uterus. Hormonal changes can also cause the body to retain more water and salt. It is common in the hands, feet, ankles, and face, especially during the third trimester.

Lactose free products are NOT the same as dairy free products. If an acidophilus supplement is called lactose free it means it does not do not contain any milk sugar, but it may contain isolated, lactose-free milk protein - so it would NOT be dairy free.

A dairy free probiotic means it does not contain either lactose (milk sugars) or milk proteins.

Yes, ornamental grasses can produce pollen that may cause allergies in some individuals. The amount of pollen and the specific allergenic potential can vary between different species of grasses. It's advisable for those with allergies to be cautious when planting ornamental grasses in their gardens.

No, ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, does not lead to a fishy body odor. A fishy body odor may be caused by other factors such as diet, certain medications, or medical conditions.

Natural gas and petroleum are both fossil fuels that are formed from the decay of organic matter over millions of years. They are often found together in underground reservoirs, and both are used as sources of energy for heating, electricity generation, and transportation. Petroleum can be refined to produce a variety of products, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, while natural gas is primarily used for heating and electricity generation.
