Allergy’s Favorite Symptoms

Allergy’s Favorite Symptoms

If allergies had a top ten list of their favorite

symptoms what would be on it? Would they prefer life

threatening or just really annoying?

The most common symptoms, that may or may not be on

their favorites list:

Breathing problems.

This one should be fun for an allergy. It really gets

the persons attention. Nothing like the lack of oxygen

to center a person’s attention on the allergy.

Burning, watery or itchy eyes.

This symptom falls into the really annoying category.

It could cause additional problems if you can’t see

where you’re going.

Red, swollen eyes, also called Conjunctivitis.

Certainly annoying, but most people can deal with this

one.

Coughing.

This one gets old real quick. And a constant cough

quickly becomes painful.

Diarrhea.

This one might start out in the annoying category, but

left unchecked could switch to the life threatening

section very quickly.

Headache.

Depending on the severity of the headache, this one

might be tolerable.

Hives.

This symptom is not only annoying and uncomfortable

(possibly painful) it draws the attention of strangers

on the street.

Itchy nose, mouth, throat or skin.

Another in the category of really annoying. An itch

that can’t be soothed is one of the most annoying

things there is.

Runny nose.

Yeah, this one could cause problems with other people.

No one likes to hear someone constantly sniffing or

blowing their nose. Makes people wonder what germs

you’re spreading around.

Skin rashes.

Possibly ugly to look at, but tolerable
