Allergy: A Common Health Issue
Allergy is a widespread immune system response that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the immune system incorrectly recognizes certain typically harmless substances as harmful. These substances mistakenly considered harmful are called allergens and may exist in the air, food, or pets.
Common allergy types
Seasonal allergies (also called hay fever) are among the most common types of allergies. They are mainly caused by pollen released into the air by trees, grass, and weeds.
Food allergies can cause reactions to specific food ingredients such as nuts, milk, eggs, etc.
Drug allergy is a reaction to specific components of a drug, such as penicillin allergy.
Pet allergies are usually not a reaction to pet hair but a sensitivity to pet dander, saliva, or urine proteins.
Insect bite allergy is a reaction caused by the venom of certain insects, such as bees or wasps.
Skin contact allergy is a reaction caused by skin contact with certain substances, such as metallic nickel or certain cosmetics.
How to manage allergies
Avoid contact with allergens: Understand and avoid substances that may cause allergic reactions. The AAFA and ASL certified some products that can reduce allergens, by incorporating these asthma and allergy friendly® products into your daily routine.
Drugs: including antihistamines, corticosteroid sprays or eye drops.
Immunotherapy: Regularly injecting small doses of allergens gradually reduces the body's allergic reactions.
Using an air purifier helps reduce allergens in indoor air.
Consult a professional doctor: Conduct allergy testing, identify allergens, and obtain professional treatment advice.
Although allergies can be unpleasant, with proper management and preventive measures, most people can effectively control their symptoms and lead ordinary lives. If you or your family members experience allergic symptoms, please seek medical help promptly to obtain the most suitable treatment plan.
