I agree, I did not know that cross-reactions may be important.

I think this was the best article I have read on food allergy. I should know, I have had hives from food for the past 5 years. Your site was informative, without going into too much detail. Thus it led to a true understanding of the food allergy situation for the lay person. Clare Flocco

"Take two philodendrons and call me in the morning!" For sick-building or tight-building syndrome, thatÂ’s the prescription that you would get from a scientist formerly at NASA. Based on twenty years of research, this NASA scientist found that an average spider plant will scrub the air more effectively than many high tech machines.

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.
