Why do jewelry allergies occur?

Some people might be allergic to fake jewelry.

Many pieces of jewelry contain the component called nickel which is one of the most common causes of jewelry allergies. The itchy rash generally appears in the areas where jewelry is worn. As a nickel alloy sits against the skin, the natural sweat and oils from the skin oxidize the metal. As a result of the oxidation, a thin layer of nickel salts form on top of the jewelry. Those nickel salts irritate the skin and cause the allergic dermatitis that are characteristic of a metal allergy.

Can you take Zyrtec and NyQuil together?

AnswerZoloft is an anti-depressant that is most commonly instructed to be taken in the morning. One of the most common side effects Zoloft has on people is insomnia. If you are using Nyquil to just help you get to sleep, I would recommend that be stopped, due to the alcohol present in Nyquil. There are a variety of sleeping pills your physician may prescribe you to help you sleep that will not interact in a negative way with the Zoloft.

To add to this statement, DO NOT take Codine, Nyquil and Zoloft, I had a horrible cough and took these together and had a MAJOR panic attack, brain spasms, one minute I could see fine the next blurred vision...DO NOT mix these drugs....Ask your doctor for a different choice for Cold Medicine. I also had no equilibrium, I was walking like a drunk....and totally out of it!!!! Took me hours to feel somewhat normal!!!

Is a Beagle a hypoallergenic dog?

There are two types of dog allergies: air-borne and contact.

Air-borne, caused by shedding and dander, are not prevelent in beagles, who are a short-hair species.

Contact allergies are caused by a reaction to dog saliva, which inevitably gets all over any dog, beagle or not.

Determine which type of allergy you have to make the call.

Why are people allergic to grass?

Just like flowering plants, grass gives off pollen. But it's too small to see with the naked eye.

I have a gluten allergy and accidentally consumed gluten at a barbecue is there anyway to relieve the subsequent symptoms other than pain killers?

You could try using an antihistamine, like piritaze or citrazine.

If the allergy is very bad (E.g anaphylaxis), you should see your doctor and get an epipen (adrenaline)

Do giraffes get allergies?

they can... just like any person or other animal. I knew a guy whose dog had to become an inside pet because it was allergic to dirt. Weird? YES!!! But yes, any animal (big enough to have an immune system) can potentially get an allergy.

How can you reduce allergy symptoms in a toddler?

First take child to a pediatric allergist. Determining any specific allergens is important in deciding what to do concerning life style, diet and medications that will hopefully lessen symptoms. For instance dust mite allergies -we chose wood floors for most of the house, washing bedding at least once a week, encasing mattresses in mite proof cases (google sources for allergy relief/encasement for mattress/bedding). Washing stuff toys weekly was unrealistic for us instead we tossed them in hot dryer for about 30 minutes. This seemed to kill off the dust mites well enough. We also bought the kids bookcase cabinets with doors so toys, books, etc could be seen and retrieved but not gathering dust when not in use. After a very short time we saw a major improvement - lessening allergy symptoms and use and amount of medications.

What could be causing a rash on torso at a specific time every year such as in August in northern Minnesota?

I also live in Northern Minnesota, and my allergies are at their worst in August. This is when grass pollen is at its peak. I'm not sure if this is what you're allergic to, but this gives me really big problems. I guess the only other possibility that stands out in my mind would be some sort of fruit that's only "in season" in August, but that would be a little easier to trace.

I'd recommend going into the allergist's office for an allergy test. Then you can know exactly what you're allergic to, and you can get medicine or shots. There is an office in Duluth, at SMDC (St. Mary's). I'm not sure about other towns.

Which dogs are good dogs to have besides poodles if your child has allergies and asthma and are Italian greyhounds a good choice?

First off it's not the fur that bothers a person with allergies. You have to be sure it also suits your family's routine. An Italian Greyhound can be hyper (they are great racers) and high strung. They need quiet and I wouldn't class them as a good dog for a child. The other choice is a Bichon Frise'. They don't shed. They are white and can weigh in at 16 - 20 lbs. (easy to keep clean) and should be bathed twice in the winter (you want to keep their skin as natural as possible and not dry it out by bathing them so much in the winter) and in the summer they should be bathed every 3 - 4 weeks (unless they get muddy.) These little dogs are full of fun and comical as heck (I own one.) They love to be with family and if brought up with your child will be his/her's best buddy. They have curly hair and if Bichon Frise's are groomed to show in breeding contests they have a powder puff face. My husband and I don't care for this look so we have her body shaved just like a sheep. She looks so cute and I call her hair "angel feathers" because that's just what it looks like. Her hair on her face is cropped, but not too short and she has the face of a bit like a cute Cocker Spaniel. They are energetic, smart and full of fun. We have had so many good belly laughs from this dog. They are great protectors of the family's home (will warn you with a bark or growl) and a no nonsense attitude (and they do have attitude) if a stranger should enter the house. Although they don't bite when anyone comes into the house they will growl and keep a keen eye on that person until they are satisfied you have accepted this person into your home. These dogs are full of love and will give you cuddles and kisses galore. Excellent dog for children. Before getting any dog please see your specialist about this and discuss it. It would be heartbreaking if you got a dog for your child and then had to give it away. Dogs are used a great deal to help in many areas of life. Inmates in prisons are calmer when given a pet; dogs and cats are used in nursing homes for the elderly (and the elderly love it!) Dogs are used for the blind, deaf, and also used to get through to problem children when humans can't reach them. Now dogs are being tested for detecting cancer in people (just like a dog sniffing out drugs at an airport.) Please type in: www.google.com Then Type in: Pictures of Bichon Frise' Also ask Google: good dogs for children with asthma and allergies Please, don't get a tiny dog as these little dogs are more lap dogs and not the rough and tumble kind that children should be playing with. You will get some idea of what these little dogs look like. They are not delicate as some other breeds are and other than a poodle this is an excellent dog for your child providing the specialist thinks it's a good idea. Shih Tzu's are wonderful dogs for those with asthma and allergies. They love to play, but love to relax too. They are small (range from 10-20lbs). They have a wonderful temperment. They are great around children and easy to train. Definetly a Shih-Tzu. I am allergic to dogs and cats and I am not allergic to shih-tzus. They do not shed; very clean dog. Labradoodles are great they are half Labrador and half Poodle but look like a Lab. Half and half is good for minor allergies. But for bad allergies you need 3/4 Poodle and 1/4 Lab.

Silky Terriers do not shed and make really good pets. My brother's allergic to dogs and we've got a Silky cross and he never sneezes.

Can you use Epipens more than once?

An Epi-pen is a single use instrument. After use, it should be discarded in an appropriate container. If you continue to have the symptoms that made you use the Epi-pen in the first place, you may give yourself another dose of the Epi-pen, provided you have another one in your possession. Once you use your Epi-pen, you should call for EMS and be transported to the hospital for evaluation of your condition and observation to ensure you do not have recurrence of your allergic reaction.

How do you know if im allergic to water?

Well, I can't tell If you're allergic to water as I'm not you. However, I doubt you are allergic to water itself as you're composed of 70% water. You may, however, be allergic to something contained in the water. Water is loaded with minerals and chemicals such as Fluoride, Chlorine, Sodium, Iron, Copper, and many other things as this occurs during water treatment.

My recommendation may be to try Bottled water or purchase a water purification system to eliminate anything harsh in the water.

Can you take Zyrtec and Robitussin at the same time?

Can Marijuana cause anaphylactic shock?

oh yes it can. it doesnt matter if you have been smoking for years or just a few days. it can happen at anytime and it can even be the strian of weed. i know this because i got anaphylactic shock from smoking and i had a almost a year of smoking in my past. yes i had to go the hospital and yes i got mostly all the syntoms such as hives, trouble breathing/swallowing, chest tightness, swelling of the throat tissue and much more. U may get this type of shock very severely or not severely it depends on what you are allergic too. If you think you may be alergic to the allergens in the cannabis plant then i suggest not smoking it. i never thought it would happen to me but it did and i almost died from it.
