Common Allergies
Food Allergies
Most people when asked believe they have allergies to some foods. Some believe they have multiple food allergies. They will describe their reactions in a wide spectrum of symptoms.
Latex Allergies
There are two typed of allergic reactions to latex. The first is contact Dermatitis, a poison ivy-like rash, which appears 12-36 hours after contact with latex.
Stinging Insects
Insect stings are very common to Americans. For most people this means pain and discomfort usually for a few hours, and redness, swelling, and itching at the site of the sting.
Allergic Hives
Likely the most distressing problem Allergy/Immunologists and Dermatologists see in their patients, is hives or urticaria. In most people hives are self-limited, only lasting a few weeks. In these self-limited cases, a theory is that the hives might be caused by a virus.
Allergies and Children
Diaper rash, stomachache, rashes, ear infections – they are common problems in childhood. As a parent, you want to relieve the suffering caused by these conditions as quickly as possible. Though many children show signs of these diseases once or twice, they seem to outgrow them.
