Dust is creepy to deal with – even if you are not allergic to it. If you are a person with an average income and can’t afford another person to bite… ahem to wipe and shoot and strangle the dust in your house or apartment, then you are supposed to have a long-term and complicated relation with this regenerating parasite. You wipe it wipe it wipe it till you suddenly start sneezing once or twice at first, then you sneeze harder and juicier and then you notice the symptoms of dust allergy…
So are their main manifestations? Typically dust allergy acquires the form of asthma – one of the most well-known allergic reactions. To be more precise, it usually accompanies asthma. Symptoms of dust allergy are easy to notice. You find it really hard to breathe when ‘interacting’ with the dust, sometimes it causes skin itchiness and unusually excessive sneezing.
Often people think that dust allergy is something trivial and very insignificant – most probably due to the fact that it’s not considered a disease, just a reaction of human body to these featherlike snowflakes of dry dirt… However, everyone must realize that neglecting the issue can lead to very harmful consequences, especially if dust allergy is accompanied by such unusual symptom as fever. The latter case must be immediately discussed with your doctor who will take necessary measures to save you from dust-attack.
As for preventive measures of dust allergy, certainly, it implies avoidance – just as it happens with any kind of allergy. Say no to exposure to dust and make sure your house is clean and your personal hygiene is sophisticated enough for dust to bite the dust disarmed by the power of your inside-out cleanness.

Tracking Food Allergy Down
Food allergy symptoms are not always easily recognizable. They are very often confused with food intolerance or even cases of food poisoning due to the fact that the symptoms of these three phenomena are often very similar. Adam and eve it or not, but only one out of seventy people really suffer from non-confused-with-anything-else food allergy. That’s why it’s important to be able to learn to tell true food allergy from other disorders.
In the majority of cases food allergy ‘attacks’ kids and is connected with immune system’s inability to get satisfaction from certain products it is fed with the whole process being accompanied by negative reaction of the body to certain food. What are this reaction’s main markers? Read on and you’ll find out.
Allergic reaction may start right after you have eaten something you are allergic to, however, the symptoms will most likely knock on your condition’s ‘door’ a bit later, sometimes it even takes them a few hours to arrive.
First and foremost, initial symptoms of classic food allergy are swelling and itching in the mouth (that especially implies tongue and throat itching). Often food allergies affect skin, cause diarrhea, vomiting, running nose, sickly red and itchy eyes.
There’s such a thing as anaphylactic shock which is the severest allergic reaction. It manifests itself in loss of consciousness, breathing difficulties, blood pressure lowering. If a person is not provided with proper medical assistance, the chances of lethal outcome are very high. That’s why it’s vitally essential to react to your body’s allergic reactions immediately. In case you still doubt whether you’re having food allergy or not and need more tangible evidence, consult your doctor for further tests and analyses.

Mini-Guide to Allergies
Allergy is a wide-spread disease nowadays. It deals with our immune system and its (in)ability to protect us from the infection. If our immune system doesn’t work properly, it becomes hyper-sensitive even to some things which are typically not harmful. These things are called allergens – causes of allergies.
The main forms of allergies are chronic and nasal allergies. Other types are skin, food, plant, drug allergies. The symptoms of allergies depend on their forms. They can be represented by such negative reactions of our bodies as: heavy sneezing, stuffy nose, headache, itching, fatigue etc.
Let’s investigate the issue on the example of food allergy. Food allergy is manifested by negative reaction of a person’s body to certain food. According to statistics, the most common food allergy type is a peanut allergy. Symptoms of food allergy are hives, swelling, wheezing, itching in the mouth, abdominal cramps. Once a person notices these symptoms he or she must visit a doctor immediately.
One of the best ways to prevent our allergy’s fitful and furious attacks is the so-called allergy prophylactics i.e. being careful with products and/or substances that make you feel sick by simply avoiding getting close to them. There are also chemical killers of your allergens represented by different medications.
One can also make the most of natural supplements which are often very helpful when it’s about boosting your immune system. Try the latter first and switch to the former ones in case natural supplements don’t work – just to be sure you’ve done your best to protect your body from needless chemistry. Remember that you will manage to effectively fight with your allergies only when you approach the issue seriously and sensibly.
