Can shingles cause food allergies?

In 2010 January I decided to get a shingles shot, and my sister (mother of an autistic son) immediately said "now you've screwed up your immune system". I didn't think anything more about it until June.

I have never been allergic to pollen or outdoor plants. For years (age 59) I have enjoyed being out in the Michigan woods, hand cutting trails and maintaining them on my property. This time in June it was different. I had spent 2 hours trimming wild brush. When I came back in and looked in the mirror my face had swollen around my eyes, and I had trouble seeing. My forehead was red and itchy and would later produce dry patches of skin.

In a few weeks I had healed over, so I put a small test bit of pollen near my nose. My eyes were swollen a few hours later. I wasn't going to stop going into the woods. How could I get back to my old self?

I started by eating probiotic yogurt, drinking a lot of water, and intentionally contacting small amounts of pollen to build up my system. By the end of summer, I was much improved, almost no reaction to pollens. I won't really know until next year on the trails when I get in contact with cut plants.

Are allergies immune disorders?

Allergies are kind of like an immune disorder but not in the typical sense, rather people that have allergies just have extremely reactive immune systems. Basically what this means is that when you come into contact with an allergen (dust, pollen, animal fur and so on) your body reacts to this substance in order to protect itself. the body releases histamines to defend itself against the allergen. it is this histamines that often produce the symptoms associated with allergies, such as sneezing, watery eyes and sinus congestion.

What are symptoms of grass allergies?

First of all I am not a Dr but a parent of a baby with grain allergies. I began to wonder due to a very bumpy rash that was slowly crawling up her legs. They almost looked like little pimples. She did not scratch and they did not seem to bother her. Since I had heard that grain allergies are very common I simply took her off grains. Within a week her legs were clearing up and now a month later they are completely clear. I visited a NAET in my area and she confirmed this allergy.

Can you have an allergic reaction to Norfolk Island pine?

pines dont have pollen because they dont grow flowers, they have cones, which contain their seeds. They close more when it is colder and open more when it is warm in order to protect those seeds You don't need flowers to have pollen. The male pine cones produce microspores, 4 at a time which form the pine pollen grain that blows in the wind.

How can you tell if you are allergic to nuts?

Trust me it's NOT fair!

Everytime I get a present for my birthday or Christmas my mum has to eat it! Just because its got nuts in! I could just ask for the repcite and swap it. At my best friends party its quite nice though because she buys one for everyone else because its got nuts in and I get my own half a cake(some of it I take home to finish the next day though). When I was little I was brilliant at not eating nuts and checking the ingredients. Its just as well as in foundation I got given a snickers bar from my teacher but I took it out to my childminder and said that its got nuts in. The childminder nearly blow the teachers head off! So sometimes its nice having a nut allergy but sometimes its not!!!!!
