But Liz Knight has spent most of her life avoiding them because coming into contact with one could kill her. As a child, Liz was allergic to dust, animal hair and feathers. By the age of 12, doctors found she was also allergic to human hair. Her long blonde ponytail was duly cut off into a short, cropped style that wouldn't cause any irritation.

wheat and gluten intolerance :: Article Creator Opinion: Your Gluten Sensitivity Might Be In Your Head Diet plays an important role in human health, but how it does so — especially among those with gastrointestinal diseases — becomes complicated by the emotional and psychological aspects of eating. One-third of patients with irritable bowel syndrome also have disordered eating habits and perceptions about food that may cause symptoms in and of themselves. Many people find that wheat or gluten cause them to react in some way: Some people have a wheat allergy, some have the autoimmune condition celiac disease, but the majority find they have some sort of intolerance or sensitivity to wheat and gluten. This is challenging to diagnose because there still aren't any reliable biomarkers to confirm gluten or wheat sensitivity, and clinicians typically rely on patient self-reports.

sulfa drug allergy :: Article Creator People's Pharmacy: Rinsing Well Is Key To Comfort With Acne Medicine DEAR PEOPLE'S PHARMACY: I have suffered from acne and rosacea since I was a teenager. Back then, my dermatologist recommended benzoyl peroxide, but I found it too irritating. Despite trying numerous other treatments, I suffered periodic outbreaks over the years. More recently, I went back to using benzoyl peroxide as a facial scrub. Reading the instructions carefully, I saw that it should be rinsed well. Now, I use the scrub in the shower, leave it on for a minute as my dermatologist recommended, and then rinse it off really well. At the end of the shower, I rinse again. This way, my skin does not itch or get irritated, and my acne rosacea is much better. I wish I had read the instructions more carefully decades ago. A.

You can subscribe here to get the newsletter in your inbox.) In what could well be tagged as a 'pioneering' move, one that is in sync with the current global concern of the effects of climate change, Tamil Nadu went ahead and declared heatwaves as State-specific disasters and announced an ex-gratia for heat-related deaths. This will allow the government to provide immediate relief to those affected by extreme temperatures and the government has claimed it will use the State Disaster Response Fund to support these efforts. This comes after many regions in Tamil Nadu recorded temperatures exceeding 40°C, and the impact on public health was perceived to be considerable. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and
