What Allergies Are Most Common?

If you would like to know what the most common allergens are and the side effects because of them, keep reading.

Allergies

An allergy is your body’s reaction to a particular food or substance. Allergies come in all different forms as many people can be allergic to many different things. However, there are a few allergens that are more common than others. If you would like to know what the most common allergens are and the side effects because of them, keep reading.  

 

Pollen 

Pollen is one of the most prominent allergies in the world. There are many factors that contribute to the release of pollen in the air such as trees, grasses and flowers. A yellow residue on the ground can be a good indicator that pollen season is in full swing. This is when those who suffer from pollen allergies will start to take preventative measures so it doesn’t become that bad. Pollen allergies affect the sinuses and respiratory tract causing congestion, runny nose and sneezing. 

 

Dust 

Dust is the most prominent thing on Earth and can cause a great deal of allergies for people. What causes these allergies is dust mites that trigger the reaction. Reactions you may have if you suffer from dust allergies may include sneezing and a runny nose. When you see dust accumulating and therefore start to feel your reactions coming on, simply clean it up so it does not accumulate too much.  

 

Food Allergies 

There are many people who suffer from different food allergies. Food allergies can include tree nuts, dairy, soy, shellfish as well as a plethora of other foods. Having this allergy hinders what you can and cannot eat. Even if these foods are in a dish and are not easily seen, it can still set off a reaction for that person. These allergies can be as significant as hindering their breathing or as insignificant as just upsetting their stomach.  

 

Medication 

Different medications can cause a reaction, with penicillin being the most common medication to cause an allergic reaction. If you have an allergy to any type of medication, make sure that your doctor is aware of it so they can be sure to prescribe you with medicine that you will not have a reaction to. If you do have an allergic reaction to a medication that you were prescribed, you should contact your pharmacist or doctor immediately.  

 

Insect Bites and Stings 

Insect bites and stings, especially bees, wasps and ants, all trigger a reaction in a lot of people. These reactions can be as mild as some swelling or as severe as anaphylactic shock. If you have this allergy, make sure you are being careful and cautious while working outside whether you are working in your garden or if you go somewhere where there are a lot of insects such as hiking or camping.  

 

There are many different types of allergies that people can have but the ones mentioned above are the common ones that most people suffer from. Advanced Respiratory Care Network offers allergy testing – so book yours today so you can find relief!
