While allergens can seem harmless to most people, an allergy sufferer can have mild, anaphylactic or life threatening responses to certain allergens. They are among the most common chronic conditions worldwide.<\/p>\r\nAn allergy is not to be confused with an intolerance which is a non-immune mediated reaction to something.\r\n<h3>What causes an allergy:<\/h3>\r\nMost commonly dust, pollen, grass, foods (eg. peanuts and seafood) animal dander, mould, medications or insect stings trigger an allergic reaction.\r\n<h3>Symptoms:<\/h3>\r\nUsually irritate the nose, throat, ears, sinus, lungs, digestive tract and skin. Presenting as:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Skin rash<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sneezing \/ running nose<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Asthma<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Swelling<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nausea\/ diarrhoea<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Headaches<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>What to do about allergies:<\/h3>\r\nSome low reactive allergens which are not life threatening can be managed in small amounts. It is up to the individual how their life is impacted by each allergic response and if it\u2019s best to avoid the allergen.\r\nSupplementing with natural antihistamines like quercetin or bromelain and dietary changes which support gut health and the immune system have also seen to make improvements for allergy sufferers.\r\nDue to the potential severity of certain allergic reactions, strict avoidance is sometimes the only way. In this case, your doctor might recommend to carry an epi-pen at all times. This gives a quick shot of adrenaline which will open up the airways in a life threatening situation.","link":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/allergies\/","name":"Allergies","slug":"allergies","taxonomy":"problems-concerns","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Allergies Archives - Amazingy Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/allergies\/\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/amazingy.com\\\/magazine\\\/problems-concerns\\\/allergies\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/amazingy.com\\\/magazine\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Allergies\"}]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Allergies Archives - Amazingy Magazine","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/allergies\/","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/allergies\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Allergies"}]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/problems-concerns\/1768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/problems-concerns"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/problems-concerns"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?problems-concerns=1768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
