What Happens After the Allergies?

Allergies are caused by many things. They make us itch, sneeze, and wheeze. Recently, I went to my physician, and found out I have a new allergy. It is to wasp stings. One stung me and after the stinger was out, it became red, itchy and very swollen. I had trouble breathing. This was an emergency and I knew I had just a little time to get to a doctor. Benedryl was available, and I took one. Some people carry allergy kits carrying "epi" which is a wise thing to do.
Allergies can start as an infant. My daughter was allergic to cow's milk, then the formula made from it. When we changed to goat milk, (this was after a year of breast feeding), she became well. She had developed green loose stools and became dehydrated. I promptly took her to her baby doctor.
Local honey helps allergies, but is dangerous for young children and infants. Cat dander, not the fur, causes allergies. You will know if you start to sneeze. Your eyes will itch, and the back of your throat will tickle. New allergies may develop at any time. Common food allergies are peanuts, wheat, beans, soy, eggs, pork, shellfish, bananas, tomatoes, and chocolate.
There are tests for allergies, which may be expensive. However, they are well worth the cost. Even laundry detergent can cause a skin rash. Doctors need to see skin rashes in person before they can make a diagnosis or you may need to see a specialist. Certain soaps and cosmetics, including hair dye contain allergens. Try a little of the product before you use it. Some hair dyes may cause blindness, so if you do not know what you are doing, get help or go to a professional salon. There are many low allergy and non allergy products.
When I changed my local, my allergies were better for several years. I returned to my original place to live. The seasonal allergies came back. The seasons changed and frost stopped some of the ones that affected me, such as Bermuda grass and fir trees. Dust may also cause problems. Light dusting with a dampened cloth helps. Water is good to use for this as long as wood and certain other furniture is not involved. Some people in other countries believe if you are happy, you will not have allergies. Allergies may be life threatening. Education is important. Your health is at stake. Allergies may go into asthma if not placed under control. Coughing up yellow or green sputum means a physician needs to be consulted. There are many medications on the market to help. This is especially important if you choose to keep that pet you love
