What am i allergic to?

What the hell am i allergic to?! the only allergy i was aware i had was to lilies.





For the last month i have been having a reaction to something, the only change we've made is getting a short hair dog four months ago - i've grown up with short hair dogs - could it be the hair on the floor? oh and a real xmas tree (had one last year to)





Tonight was a prime example, was home for about 2 hours fine, took dog out, came back in BAM sneezing, itchy eyes - now a puffy eye (worse reaction yet) but the other day i had it at work - no dog hairs, no xmas tree etc.





where do i begin to figure out what i could be allergic too?!

What am i allergic to?
you need to look into the everyday changes you might of made.. soap, lotion, laundry soap, perfumes. it might come down to getting an allergy test!





and your body does change every 7 years so keep that in mind you could of developed a new one!
Reply:Get rid of the Bounce and Glade Plug-Ins and ALL other fragranced products that you use in your home and on your body. You will see a DRAMATIC change in your health.





These fragranced products are know respiratory irritants and cause Asthma and Allergies as well as Migraines and many other health problems.





Do a search for MCS and you will find a lot of others like yourself.





There has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases over the last few decades which are now major public health problems and an enormous burden on health care resources.





Common manifestations of allergy include asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy. Subjects with allergic diseases are usually atopic,and develop sensitization to common allergens. Having said that atopy is only one part of the oh so very complex allergy spectrum.





The disease course of asthma is influenced heavily by the home environment and the exposure to multiple potentially harmful compounds may begin prenatally and continue through childhood. Observational studies have suggested that an intense exposure to a particular allergen, during pregnancy could increase the risk of offspring being sensitized to that allergen and having allergic asthma. It is now known that allergens can pass through the placenta and sensitize the foetus.





Solutions for these exposures are available and should be actively sought out by all. Knowledge gaps exist, in particular concerning the development of the complex nervous system of a child in the milieu of multiple exposures





Examples of harmful home exposures include lead, which can be a particularly harmful neurotoxin along with other neurotoxins,such as pesticides, which work by poisoning household pests and affect similar metabolic pathways in children. The quality of air and the presence of mold, ETS, and pet dander in the home contribute to or detract from the health of a child.





Homes contain a myriad of products, chemicals, and objects that offer exposure hazards to children. The 5 categories of substances most frequently involved in paediatric exposures are cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, analgesics, foreign bodies, and topical agents. So as a parent you should make a conscious effort in knowing what it is exactly you are bringing in to your home and making sure your child is safe. A note should be made here about a common indoor work activity for youth across many industries which is cleaning and use of cleaning products. Acute exposures to disinfectants and sanitizers usually involve inflammation, oedema, and burns not to mention the development of respiratory problems and increasing chances of developing cancers.





Target your focus on primary prevention. So instead of filling your home with anti this and anti that medications(secondary preventions by treating the symptoms)simply avoid exposing yourself and loved ones to agents that are suspected or known to be harmful. Remember brand loyalty kills and you do not need to be rich in order to be smart and stay healthy.
Reply:might be the dust mite in the dog hair - well dust mite even settle in on the bed - I had to use a special anti dust mite bed, cushion, pillows covers and also anti dust mite comforter - I can be near cats or dogs or pigeons - what you can do is go have your allergy blood test - you can at least have the guideline of what your are allergic too - it will help to prevent you into contact with all the stuff you are allergic to. Hope this can help you - take care
