2. Detergent Allergy (soap)
• Many people think that the chemicals are the main reason
that makes the person itch. Surprise: “Most of the skin
reactions are not caused by the cleaning chemicals but by
perfume additives,” Dr. Wedner says. "Most soap today
contains plant extracts to make it fancier.
• The skin may react to the perfume additive and give you
itchy rashes. What to do: Choose only organic soaps.
Check the label. Buy soaps that have labels that says “no
additives,” “unscented,” or “phthalate-free”. Be mindful of
“diethyl phthalate” found on the labels of various
products. Phthalates are known to cause allergic reactions
even when they are helpful in improving texture.
Examples of low irritant products are Ivory, Dove, and
Tide, as well as other organic brands.
3. Pollen Allergies
• The pollen grains of plants used for reproduction, usually
round or oval are microscopically small and they cannot
be seen by the naked eye. In some species, the plant uses
the pollen from its own flowers to fertilize itself. Others
should undergo cross-pollination.
• Cross-pollination, or a plant’s fertilization and forming of
seeds, the pollen must be transported from one flower to
another of the same species. For some flowering plants,
insects do the job of pollination. For some, it is carried by
the wind. Plants with showy flowers do not cause allergic
reactions but it is the plain looking plants (trees, grasses,
and weeds) that do. Pollen grains have to be custom-
made for wind transport and therefore have to be small,
light, and dry.
4. Candle Allergy Guide
• Inhaling the odor of essential oils can make one's nasal cavities
inflamed. However, essential oils are used to provide a smell like
autumn leaves or dune grass to candles. Dr. Wedner suggests that you
cannot acquire an allergy from it. He also says that there is an
amplified sensitivity for people having nasal allergies. When they are
exposed to candles, they get runny nose and watery eyes.
• When you smell cigarette smoke, it is the same as having a sensitive
nose. Consider staying away from candles if you know you have an
extreme sensitivity. If you insist to have candles in your home, it is best
to buy the ones with few ingredients and a single scent.
• With the help of the elimination process, a person may verify which
scent or ingredient is restricted to his smell. Getting some fresh air
helps in soothing unwanted reactions brought by scented candles.
5. Mold Allergies
• There are thousands of types of yeasts and molds that belong to the
fungus family
• Single-celled organisms like yeasts have to divide in order to form
clusters. The branching threads called hyphae are the ones that multi
cellular molds grow as. Only a small number of molds are widely
recognized causes of a mold allergy, though both can probably cause
allergic reactions. The fungi’s seeds or reproductive pieces are called
spores. Among other mold, we could spot how different spores are by
their shape, size and color, among different types of mold.
• For every spore that will germinate, it can help in the growth of molds
which in turn will be producing millions of spores. Certain food like
fungi processed cheese can aggravate some people’s mold allergy. We
should occasionally avoid eating mushrooms and dried fruits for they
can contribute to producing allergy symptoms. Yeast containing foods
such as soy sauce and vinegar should be added to that list.
6. Drug Allergy Facts
• Before taking some drugs, a person should take note of the evil
effects they make give. Another reason for you to be cautious is
that, the unwanted effects of some drugs are unpredictable
although their instructions are clearly stated. There are only
minimal cases where a person suffers from serious outcomes
when attacked by an allergy. However, experiencing several
symptoms simultaneously can make one's life really miserable.
• Some widely used medications are more allergenic than others,
most patients say. Anti-inflammatory drugs, penicillin,
antibiotics in general, and aspirin are just some of the
medications that provide collateral effects. Anti-inflammatory
drugs, when taken with penicillin, may give effects that are the
same with an allergic response. However, this can happen
without IgE being involved. Some drugs such as vancomycin,
intravenous x-ray dyes, paclitaxel, morphine and ACE inhibitors
provides the same symptoms like the usual allergic reactions.
