10 life-changing tips to deal with allergies
When your body is extra sensitive to a substance, it will respond in the form of an allergic reaction. Whether it’s a food allergy or pollen in the environment that causes hay fever, allergies are enough to drive anyone insane.
Preventing allergies
The different types of allergies (asthma, hay fever, eczema and, more recently, food allergy) have increased dramatically over the past few decades – so much so that we now find ourselves in the middle of a possible “allergy epidemic”.
The different types of allergies
Breathing air that contains an allergen can cause allergic rhinitis, the most common respiratory allergy. Allergic rhinitis often begins around the age of two years, but commonly only surfaces in a person’s late teens or early 20s.
