Allergies

Chemical sensitivities are not allergies, in the accepted definition of an allergy as an antibody response by the immune system, but they can have many of the same outward symptoms such as lightheadedness, fatigue, headaches, and recurrent illnesses that have no other explanation. Reactions vary widely from person to person, but the treatment is the same: avoidance. Chemical sensitivities do not require contact with the substance to cause a reaction. Fumes or residues on surfaces may be enough to trigger a reaction. This type of sensitivity can be hard to pin down, as it sometimes requires a lot of observation to make the connection. Possible sources of irritants can be anywhere -- carpets, laser printer toners, housing insulation, household cleaners, etc. These sensitivities can be quite serious, requiring complete avoidance of many common substances.

It is estimated that around 1-2% of the population has a true allergic reaction to preservatives. However, many more individuals may experience intolerance or sensitivities to certain preservatives.

There are many different allergies, as people can be allergic to a wide range of substances including foods, pollen, medications, and animal dander. Estimates suggest there are over 170 different known food allergens alone.

The tonsils are located in your throat at the back of your nasal cavity and tongue.

There is actually no percentage in the success rates for allergic desensitization. Often children can have allergies (red ears are a good symptom, as well as rashes, swollen throat, watery eyes, etc.) Many children who are riddled with one allergy after the other can often get over them once they hit a certain age (sometimes during the start of puberty.) Some adults can be allergy free for years, but once they age (men/women going through menopause) allergies can often appear. The body changes every 7 years so it is highly possible that many allergies will disappear on their own. Meanwhile there are shots, or homeopathic doctors who can help reduce the suffering from such allergies. If one is highly allergic to seafood, or find they are allergic to so many things they don't know what is coming next, please carry an antihistimine with you at all times. For severe reactions to seafood, etc., 50 mgs. is recommended (that's 2 capsules) FOR ADULTS. If it is your child with an allergy please discuss this method with your doctor first for the correct dosage.

The scientific name for allergy to nuts is "nut allergy," specifically referring to an allergic reaction triggered by consuming or coming into contact with nuts such as peanuts, tree nuts like almonds or cashews, or seeds like sesame. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include itching, hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis.

Exposure to black mold can cause symptoms like respiratory issues, allergies, skin irritation, headaches, and fatigue. In severe cases, it has been associated with conditions such as chronic sinus infections and asthma. It's important to address any signs of mold in your living environment to minimize health risks.

There are NO as such symptoms of being allergic to sanitary pads before you use any, If you choose normal pads available in markets it can definitely cause rashes as they are made up from chemicals so if you want to be safe you can definitely. opt for organic pads available in market .Anandi pads are one the best pads i have used for myself and it doesn't cause any rashes or any discomfort also.

No, "Paul's Case" is a short story written by Willa Cather. It is about a young man named Paul who struggles with conformity and seeks a life of art and luxury, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. Allergies are not a central theme in the story.

I have a constant feeling of pressure in back of head and stuffy nose, one side then the other, when trying to sleep at night. After long trial and error I now think I might be allergic to sodium chloride? Could this be true?

Definitely salt. Or maybe milk or any common ingredient that you would use to bake something.

No, actually, short haired breeds, such as the Chihuahua, are a better choice for somebody with allergies. Long haired dog breeds, such as the Pomeranian or the St. Bernard, shed more hair more frequently, which will create more of a problem to some one allergic.

You should only do this on the instructions of the vet. They need to tell you the proper dose for your dog. Dosage must be calculated using formulas for each medicine that is based dog size, such as on milligrams per kilogram of dog weight. Don't try to do this yourself, overdoses of allergy medicines can be serious. Contact your vet first.

You will also need your vet to examine the dog to be sure the problem is allergies and not something else that needs different treatment. Other problems can cause the same or similar symptoms, such as bordetella (kennel cough), distemper is another, etc..

Yes it is, if a horse ingests any contact a Veterinarian immediately.

Yes. Any cat can cause an allergic person to have a reaction. Especially hairy breeds (like Persians) can be very irritating. The hair and dander, and especially a cat's saliva can exacerbate the condition.

No, there is not, despite some less-than-reputable breeders advertising kittens as so. People aren't allergic to the cat themselves, but the cat's saliva, which is licked all over the cat after grooming.

If your dog is acting normal afterwards, everything should be fine. My dog has eaten many wasps in her days. Otherwise, just make sure your dog drinks plenty of water to keep her system clean.

no, beagles still shed even though their fur is very short it will still be bothersome to someone with an allergy to dogs, their dander is also problematic.. look for a breed of dog that is said to have "hair" instead of fur :) no dog is %100 hypoallergenic though

No.

no/yes The above answer is correct for the convergent lady beetle, but because our gov. imported Asian lady beetles to the farm belt the beetles do bite humans and it does hurt alittle, enough to get a slap response from humans.

Chihuahua poodles.. hmm that's a different one! I bet they are cute. I think that if your child has allergies, to dogs, you might rethink getting one at all.

Normally allergies are to the dander produced, not so much the animal.

So this breed might be better than some others. Poodles normally don't shed much, but chihuahua's do tend to leave hair behind. If you already have the dog, you might try a weekly washing routine to help in reducing dander and shedding.

the brown, white, and black cat in the recent commercial is a Snowshoe. They are a mix of Siamese and American short hair.
