Why Allergy Happens
Exposure to pollen, dust mites, animal fur, particular foods, medicines, stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.
What Is Allergy?
Allergies occur when the body’s defences react strongly to a harmless substance like pollen, dust, food, a drug or a sting. Effects range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a life-threatening emergency.
How to Lower Your Risk of Allergy
Avoid known triggers, read food labels, ask restaurants about ingredients and carry your regular allergy medicine when you travel.
How Allergy Is Treated
You describe the trigger and symptoms, the doctor views a rash or swelling by video, suggests antihistamines or other options and prescribes where appropriate. Treatment can involve antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
