(Eugene to be exact)This area is famed for terrible allergy’s. I believe I have allergy’s (and not a cold) but can’t figure out what is causing it. I am in the same house I have living for 4 years so its not household mold. I don’t see anything blooming so can figure out if its pollen. Can anyone please tell me What might be causing this allergy. Before this I have only had allergies in warly summer for a week or so. Maybe a recommendation of how to relieve symptoms without drugs.

Dust mites? That’s what gets to me.

The standard rule of thumb for long-acting H1 blockers is a minimum of 30 minutes prior to anticipated allergen exposure. This allows time for the medication to enter the digestive system and begin distributed systemically through the tissues. Ideal time frames would be on the order of 60 minutes.

Long-acting medications such as this are most effective if they are in already in place, blocking the H1 receptor, prior to histamine release (antigen exposure). They do not compete as well once histamine has been released, compared to medications like Benadryl, which is used to counteract conditions like anaphylactic shock.

Did the pre-historic people had it too? And how did these allergies develop?

The really, really, simplified answer is that allergies are a product of your immune system – most of the processes are designed to protect you from harmful things, but sometimes, the immune system initiates a response when presented with something relatively harmless, or overreacts, leading to what we would call an allergy (more appropriately, a hypersensitivity reaction). It’s not completely understood, and probably has both genetic determinants as well as environmental ones, but in any case, it’s something that has been around since there have been immune systems, so most likely, prehistoric humans had allergies as well, just like any modern human (or any animal, really), but probably to different things (the most common allergens around today may not be the same ones that were around historically).

The “progress at any cost” mentality is rapidly overwhelming our bodies as we attempt to cope with our increasingly polluted environment.

Dr. Rapp is committed to educate both the public and health professionals about the ominous physical and behavioral changes frequently evident in children and adults. The more we know, the more we can protect ourselves and our loved ones by taking some often easy and inexpensive precautions. We simply have to be more informed so we can make better choices.

In her breakthrough book, “Is This Your Child’s World?” – Dr. Rapp identifies the major symptoms of potentially unrecognized allergies in children and adults, suggesting possible sensitivities to dust, mold, pollen, foods or chemicals. Allergies are much more than high fever, asthma and itchy skin. It is possible to identify allergies by simply looking at someone. At times it is surprisingly easy to find and eliminate the cause.

The typical clues of allergies and environmental illness can include any combination of the following: Rubbing Nose Upwards, Eye Wrinkles, Dark Eye Circles, Sudden Aggression, Scarlet Earlobes, A Spacey Look, Extreme Activity Changes, Wiggly Legs, Red Cheeks, A Mottled Tongue

I know the cold is the rhinovirus and an allergy is not a virus. My question is, are there different symptoms for a cold vs. allergies? I really don’t think I am allergic to anything but I am curious about how people come to that conclusion.
They seem to have the same symptoms, so how do you know what it really is?

The people you are talking to don’t really know–it could be either and the symptoms are similar. They probably either think its weird that you have a cold when no one else does in the middle of summer, or they suffer from allergies and know its a bad time for them in your area. But if you keep having symptoms but don’t ever attempt to treat allergies, its worth a try.

If you get the symptoms for a little while and they are gone in a week or so, it is probably a cold. If you feel like you are never getting rid of your cold–you have it for weeks, it’s probably allergies. If it gets worse in certain places or environments (indoors-especially if it is some indoor places and not others, freshly cut grass, woods), it’s probaby allergies. To see what you are allergic to, you have to see a doctor and have them test you.

If you don’t want to do that, try taking allegra or claritin instead of cold medicine and see if that helps. Those drugs stop the things you are allergic to from affecting you as badly–they make you less sensitive to them. Cold medicines don’t cure anything (there’s no cure for colds yet), they just make you less miserable.
