Allergies Are Part
Of Everyday Life
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.
