The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology offers tips on how to control holiday allergies.
MILWAUKEE - If you celebrate the holidays with the traditional Christmas tree, you may want to take some precautions to prevent allergic and related reactions. Although there have been reports of respiratory symptoms in association with this enduring symbol of the holidays, the reaction may have less to do with the allergy than with other sources.
Evergreen pollens, with their thick, waxy outer coating, have never been considered a significant allergen, and are unlikely to cause a reaction. According to one study, real and artificial Christmas trees can be a source of other allergens. Artificial trees are a potential source of mold and dust caused by improper storage. Real Christmas trees may act as a source for mold or contaminating pollens such as ragweed. Interest also surrounds natural tree resins as possible airborne irritants. In rare cases, the tree sap also may cause a contact allergic rash.

The Headache-Nutrition Connection
According to U. C, Beneman, M.D., author of Basics of Food Allergy: up to 60% of the adult population has hidden food intolerances or food allergies unknown to the
person. An equal, if not larger percentage of all headaches may well also involve food allergies. In one recent study, for example, 85% of the migraine patients experienced a cessation of headaches upon elimination of foods to which they had hidden allergies.

New report on nut allergy labelling shows room for improvement
0%
A new report published today by the Food Standards Agency shows that the labelling of products that may contain traces of nuts is far from consistent and, rather than being helpful for people with nut allergy, the labelling is often confusing and difficult to read and locate.
People with nut allergy have to be extremely careful of the food they eat and labelling of food is very important for them...
