Your Allergy website was built as a knowledge and help center to supply everyone with the facts on many of the problems linked to the growing Allergy concern.

We aim to do this by distributing relevant resources and information focusing on the various types and causes of Allergies, the Allergy tests that are commonly used, the the many Allergy treatments at present available.

We also aim to provide resources and information concerning the techniques to follow to assist in aleviating the suffering caused by an Allergy attack.

More of our communities are impacted day-after-day. Around 1/3 of the population of Australia, North America and New Zealand are allergy sufferers without any barriers as to the gender or age of those affected.

What is an Allergy anyway?

Well, the medical world would tell us that an Allergy as an immune mediated condition subordinate to the hyper-sensitive abnormal response of a body's immune system to an ordinary allergen based substance. In other words, it's just an usual response by a person's body to some ordinary everyday substance which doesn't worry the bulk of others.

Basicaly your body has some crossed wires and your body thinks that the ordinary everyday substance is dangerous. So, the body produces substances of it's own to defend against the percieved enemy.

Can you catch an Allergy, is it contagious?

No, it's not contagious. Unlike the flu or a cold, you can't just catch an Allergy. People who suffer from an Allergy are simply born that way. They inherit a slightly weakened or defective gene from one or both of their parents.

Research has shown that if just 1 parent suffers from an Allergy then that particular parent has a 30 in 100 chance of passing on the weakened gene to their children. If both parents suffer from an Allergy then there is an 80 to 100 chance of passing on the weakened gene. The child with the weakened gene would then be able to develop an Allergy, although it may not be like their parent's allergy. For example, if a male parent has a peanut allergy his son or daughter could have an Allergy to tree pollen.

By reading and learning more about Allergies we become better equiped to not only figure out what our own body is doing and how we can help it but we are then more able to help others.

A present upwards of 1500 Allergy sufferers die every year in the United States as an immediate consequence of their allergy.

Despite the large amount of scientific investigation and research undertaken to date, there's currently no known cure for an Allergy. Scientific research has identified the majority of those substances (Allergens) that behave as immediate triggers to a person having an allergic reaction. An equal measure of study has created a big list of medications that can cut down the effects of particular symptoms of an allergy.

So, if you suffer from an Allergy you'd best be informed about them and be prepared to take demonstrated steps to aid in the reduction of their effects.

Alternately, you may not have an Allergy, but someone close to you might. It could be another adult or a child with an Allergy. You owe it to yourself and them to make yourself much better informed about Allergies.
