What should someone who is allergic to wasp stings do if they are stung on the neck?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergic

I know that when people who are allergic to wasp stings get stung,it swells up.So what would be the immediate care for someone stung on the neck(who is allergic)? And what if all you have is a first aid kit.

1. EPI pen every one who is allergic to bee or wasp venom should have an EPI syringe with them or very close by at all times. Read the instructions on the EPI and administer it.
2. 911 this is an Emergency of highest priority you friends life is at risk.
3. Wait for the emergency team where they can easily see you when they arrive.
4. Stay out of the emergency teams way.

The best thing is not to get stung in the first place. Check surroundings for wasp nests and destroy them. Don’t wear scarfs that bugs can get cough in around the neck. Do not panic if a bee or wasp flies around trying to kill them can make them more aggressive just remove yourself from the area.d
Best of luck

Anyone have experience or information about breastfed infant with fish allergy?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergy information

Today my son was vomiting and fussy – similar to his previous symptoms (**see below). He’s taken his reflux meds and has not gotten any dairy in his system. He is not sick – no fever or other symptoms of cold/flu. I have been keeping a diary of what I eat and the only thing that is on the list that might seem offensive is Salmon.

Do you think its possible he has a fish allergy as well as reflux and milk allergy? Are the symptoms of a fish allergy fussiness and vomiting? I can’t find any information on the web – any information or experiences would be helpful!!

**History
My son is 3 months old and exclusively breastfed. He was diagnosed with Reflux at 3 weeks and put on Zantac. He had many reflux symptoms and the medicine seemed to help. He wasn’t vomiting/spitting up as frequently and the volume was much less. He also started gaining weight. BUT his fussiness started getting worse and some days his vomiting/spit up was worse than others. We discovered he had a milk allergy as well. I am currently on a no-dairy diet… that means no eating dairy or anything with even a hint of dairy in the ingredients.

It’s definitely possible, but it’s also possible that he just has a stomach bug. I’d avoid eating fish, if possible. There’s also a correlation between dairy allergies and nut allergies, so I’d maybe avoid those, too. If you want a dairy free list of food items, I can include one for you. I am allergic to dairy and have a lovely dairy free food list.

Can a pet allergy cause eczema?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: pet allergy

I’ve been reading up on it a bit, because I have really annoying, itchy eczema, and everything says it can be caused by allergies to food, medicine, fabrics, or soaps. No mention of animals at all…
I assumed my eczema was due to my ferrets. Could I be wrong??
Thanks!!

Yes, you can and probably are wrong. Your eczema may be due to something even as little as your laundry detergent, but not pets. However, pets can cause itchy red bumps on your arms (a.k.a. hives).Try changing other stuff, then, if all else fails, go to your doctor, and ask, but even they may not be right. Doctors see new stuff all the time, and I wounldn’t take it out of the running just yet.

How effective are allergy shots for people with a severe cat allergy?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergic

I am marrying my fiancee in approximately one year’s time and he is severely allergic to my cat. We are looking into allergy shots. I was wondering if anyone knew the effectiveness of allergy shots and, assuming that they work, how long do you need to take the shots before they begin to work?

Allergy shots can be quite effective, but he may not get much better after being on the shots for only one year. It took two years before I could any improvement at all from allergy shots and five years to get the maximum benefit.

Can you join the army with allergy induced asthma?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergy information

I know this question has been asked a million times before, but I just need some specific information. I have mild allergy induced asthma. It isn’t that bad at all and I have not used my inhaler in years. My asthma is caused by touching cats and dogs a lot. But it hardly ever causes a reaction that effects my breathing. I am currently getting shots to eliminate the effects of my allergies and they will be completed when I am 18.

Asthma (of any type) after age 13 is a permanent medical (and unwaiverable) condition.

Can you help with recipes or information on food allergies?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergy information

My friend has a 1-year-old son who has food allergies. He is allergic to wheat, soy, dairy, nuts, sesame. He can have eggs though. I am looking for recipes for him or information, sites, links on food allergies. She would like to make him chicken nuggets, I would assume with rice flour, and some sugar cookies, I would assume with rice flour. Any help and suggestions would be so greatly appreciated. Please don’t give rude answers. Thanks in advance!!!!!

You will need to go to a store with a health-food section, but the leftover ingredients would make a great gift for his mom, as suggested. Just substitute a non-dairy, non-soy margarine:

I started giving him whole milk about two weeks ago, and about 5 days after taking it he has had diarreah ever since.
But he is still drinking, and doesn;t have a fever.

here is a website with tons of info.

milk allergies are very common and yes most kids grow out of them.

if he is allergic there are many alternatives, rice milk, soy milk, goats milk etc

Can you have a reaction to peanut butter one time but not have a peanut allergy?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: allergy information

A baby put peanut butter in her eye and mouth. She got a red eye and some red bumps around her mouth and on her shoulder. How likely is it that she has a peanut allergy based only on this single piece of information. By the way, we are seeing a doctor as well but I don’t believe doctors understand allergy well.

Sounds like an allergy… if she has a peanut allergy then the reaction will be worse the next time she has peanuts because it takes time for our immune system to build up the antibodies to the substance.
