Winter Allergy Symptoms Caused By Christmas Practices

Filed Under Allergy Attack, Allergy Symptoms | Leave a Comment

Most people rarely associate winter as an allergy season. However, recent findings indicate that allergy rates are on the rise. During wintertime, more and more people are complaining of allergy symptoms.

If you are allergic to mold, pollen and mites that live in dust, then winter can be the worst time of the year for you. When you start your furnace, all the dust that has settled into your carpet, atop your shelves and under the sofa gets stirred up . You get allergy reactions with your eyes, nose, sinuses, and throat. Eczema sufferers probably suffer the most, especially if they have dust mite allergies and experience changes in humidity levels that worsen their already dry skin.

You may even be housing an ideal breeding ground for dust mites in your living room with a precut Christmas tree. According to two allergy doctors who released their research findings, precut trees are often harvested as early as September, then hosed down and wrapped in plastic for travel. However, this process creates a great home for unwelcome holiday guests in the form of mites.

You and your doctor may dismiss your respiratory symptoms as just another winter cold. But while a cold generally lasts as long as 10 days, you can begin to suspect that you have an allergy on continued exposure to dust.

Food Allergy: Peanut Allergy

Filed Under Allergy Attack | Leave a Comment

A peanut allergy is often lifelong. There are some rare cares whereby young children with a peanut allergy outgrow this condition.

Having a peanut allergy warrants a lot of care and attention. It is a very common food allergy and is one of those that can be fatal, causing severe reactions include anaphylaxis. Coming into contact with traces of protein can also set off a whole series of reactions. Hence, it is important to check that even the utensils used to serve the food have not been used for food containing peanuts.

Raw peanuts or cooked peanuts do not make a difference to allergy sufferers. Peanuts contain a number of allergens that are not destroyed by cooking or roasting.

Some amounts of refined peanut oil are thought to be safe if you have a peanut allergy because the proteins causing the reactions are removed during processing. However, refrain from using or consuming cold-pressed, or unrefined/unprocessed (crude) peanut oil as these contain small amounts of peanut allergens.

If you have a peanut allergy, you may also want to check if you are sensitive to legumes as they contain similar allergens to peanuts. Legumes are foods such as soya, green beans, green peas kidney beans, and lupins. Other types of nuts that you may also need to test include almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts.

If you have a school going kid with a peanut allergy, you should advise teachers and the school as well about your kid’s condition as well. You may consider packing your kid’s own meals to minimise the chance of your kid coming into contact with peanuts. Most definitely, ensure that your kid does not eat any chocolates, cakes or deserts that contain peanuts in them.
