Dealing With Season Allergy Symptoms
Dealing with season allergy symptoms has become a fact of life for many of us. This year has been officially called the worst allergy season ever. People who have never suffered of any type of allergies have reported season allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny noses, sneezing etc.
Fact is more then 20% of American population suffers with some sort of allergies; 14 million visiting their doctor and it was estimated 4 million sick days will be taken due to the season allergy. Hartford, Connecticut took the number one position in seasonal allergies this year due to high pollen count.
Here are some myths and facts to treat the season allergy:
* Myth cold medications. These medications are only efficient for colds and will not help in any way your allergy symptoms. Do not have them even if friends and family tell you they are effective. Only allergy medications will help you get relief.
* Myth air purifiers. It is true that this will help to a certain degree, because keeping the air clean, which the air purifier achieves, is part of keeping the allergies at bay, however, they cannot clean out pollen.
* Fact Over the counter medications do work. Those that are available in pharmacies are great provided you already know that you are suffering from season allergy. Do not self medicate.
* Fact Know your condition and be aware of the foods and places that trigger the allergies. Avoid the following (to name a few): carrots, apples and pears.
* Fact Have a shower before you get to bed. Cleaning off all the dust and pollen is very effective. You can even take a shower when you get back home for fast relief.
* Fact sunglasses block pollen from getting into your eyes preventing you effectively from season allergy.
Treating season allergy symptoms is not as simple as some new set of laws do restrict over the counter sale of some decongestants. That is any medication containing pseudoephedrine will be sold only by prescription and that too limited amount a month.
The good news that is many of the over the counter drugs are very effective and can cure you of the season allergy.
Surviving season allergy is not an easy task, it's something you have to constantly be conscious about and in control of; with constant surveillance and organization, care and a lot of love and understanding from your family you should get through even the worst of the seasons.

Help with food allergies?
When I was born I was allergic to milk and my mother gave my soy milk instead. Over the years I have gained more allergies. I am now allergic to: all fresh fruit (yes, all of it- strawberries, apples, bananas, etc.) carrots, lettuce, fresh pea pods, soy, dairy products. Two years ago I went to an allergist to get tested. I tested for but have no reaction to: pork, beef, and I can't remember the rest. When I have a reaction my lips, tongue, throat (anything the allergen comes into contact with) becomes very itchy, and my throat swells, and I have trouble breathing. Dairy is the only one with a different reaction. I get very very sick (throwing up) if I have too much. Has anyone had this type of reaction before? What did you do to reduce or elminate the reaction all together? Did you find out what you were specifically allergic to (ex. the chemicals it was grown with)?
I have an epi-pen as a precaution and I'm lucky enough not to have used it yet.
Also, if the allergen has juices that get into a cut, or on dry skin, my skin turns blotchy red and itches.

Natural seasonal allergy relief for children?
I just started using Bio Allers Allergy Relief Homeopathy for my 7 yr old daughter who suffers from seasonal allergies-its amazing at how fast it clears up her red itchy skin-instantaneously! I've read satisfied reviews from many who've used it. She also has a cough and an occasional wheezing when she inhales deeply(was already examined/x-rayed and it's not asthma so I know it's allergies).
Has anyone had success with Bio Allers for all seasonal allergy symptoms? Any recommendations on other natural products that can also help with her cough/wheezing?
She already takes vit C daily.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Do I have running asthma if so how do I lessen my symptoms?
I am pretty sure I have running asthma I am in 10th grade and this year I started my very first track season and I'm on the distance team so i run 800's, 1600's, and 3200's and on all of these races around the end of the first lap to the end of the second lap depending on the length of the race I start wheezing and my chest feels tight and this goes away after a little while in the 1600 or the 3200 it doesn't really fully go away in the 800 since it's only two laps is there a particular type of warm up i should do before my races that will lessen this? because during practice when we do work outs on the track usually my first trial runs are the hardest and they get easier on my breathing as I go.
