The four most common type of allergies
Dust Mite Allergy : A dust mite allergy is an allergy to a microscopic organism that lives in the dust found in all dwellings.
Hay Fever : Hay fever, also known as pollen allergy, is one of the most common allergies in the United States.
Known scientifically as perennial allergic rhinitis, indoor allergies are often called "nasal" allergies and result from allergens commonly found indoors. They are inhaled into the nose and the lungs causing allergic reactions. Examples of indoor allergens include airborne cat or dog dander, dust mite feces and mold spores.
An estimated 10 million people are allergic to cat dander, making it the most common pet allergy. House dust, which is comprised of many of these allergens, is unsurprisingly a very common trigger for allergic individuals.
Some measures you can take to alleviate suffering include:
• avoiding certain pets,
• cleaning carpets regularly,
• throwing out overstuffed or old furniture and pillows as well as bedding not washable in hot water.
• Vacuuming more frequently
• and cleaning the air ducts.
Poison ivy, oak and other plant allergens are the most common triggers in skin allergies. However, certain foods or products such as latex might also cause skin irritation as can allergies to bees, ants, wasps and other insects. Skin reactions usually occur within 48 hours after exposure to the allergen.
Symptoms include redness, blistering, rashes and swelling. Like other allergies, treatments can be found in over-the-counter or prescription drugs. Most skin allergies can be relieved by utilizing topical creams as well as by isolating, then avoiding, the allergen.
The last main group of allergies relates to food and drug. Roughly 6 percent of allergy suffers experience food and drug allergies.
Food allergies are more common among children. In some cases, they can be outgrown. Regardless, the majority of all food reactions are caused by eight foods. They are milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish. Penicillin is the most common drug allergy.
