No Scrambled Eggs
No matter what food allergy you have it will play havoc with your health. It is completely unreal to me how many problems you run into when you have to avoid one food. I’ve mentioned my onion allergy which is somewhat random but after I made breakfast this morning (eggs and toast if you were [...]

I’ve mentioned before that as a student I had serious health problems as a result of allergens in my old school. By old school I don’t mean the school I went to before I mean the building was old. My dad went to school there. My problems as an adult teacher weren’t as severe because [...]

Monday, August 17, 2009
When parents and students think about that first week away from home in the brand new college dorm there are lots of worries. Parents worry that their child will be influenced to do things they wouldn’t approve of, that they won’t study, that they’ll sleep through that early class.

One of the allergens I have the most trouble with is the evil dust mite. Really, have you seen a picture of these things? They look like the bad guy from an alien movie. The other thing that is a big problem for me is pollen…from oh, everything. What does that have to do with [...]

This article puts it plain and simple: Tackling household allergens takes a team and is not easy. I always thought that washing my bed sheets in hot water would do the trick, but that’s not the case. I couldn’t have been more naïve. Getting rid of allergens takes a focused effort, and this article tells [...]

Wednesday, June 24, 2009
As I mentioned in the previous post, my best friend has been looking for ways to bring a puppy home. She isn’t terribly picky about the type of dog, I mean she wasn’t raised a fierce fan of say chows or anything. She just likes pups. This is good, because there aren’t a lot of [...]

It always seems that just as pollen season ends, a whole bunch of other asthma-irritating problems (like chalk dust and the flu) surface. Every season has its own share of problems for asthma sufferers. But being aware of these seasonal triggers and preparing for them can cut down on your risk of having an asthma [...]

Sunday, June 21, 2009
Hypoallergenic dogs are great choices for people allergic to pet dander. Just because you are allergic to dogs doesn’t mean you can’t have a dog. I have a hypoallergenic Bichon Frisé and no asthma symptoms, although I am allergic to most other dogs and all cats. You can find more information on pet dander in this [...]

Some people say there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, but I disagree. Every dog is different, and every case of allergies is different. Only meeting a dog or cat can determine whether or not you have a reaction. More information on hypoallergenic pets can be found in this article.
