Latex Allergies

The list of nuts a person with a nut allergy should avoid can be pretty extensive, as tree nuts include almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, cashews, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, beechnuts, butternuts, shea nuts, pili nuts, Nangai nuts, macadamia nuts, lychee nuts, chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, and hickory nuts. Additionally, per FARE, other common and unexpected ingredients to avoid include nut extracts — although artificial extracts are usually safe — nut liqueurs, gianduja, marzipan, nut butters, flours, milks, paste, meals, and oils, pesto, and praline. Furthermore, due to the risk of cross-contact in manufacturing facilities and restaurants (which is when nut allergens come in contact with a food that wouldn't typically contain nuts), FARE warns that tree nut allergens can also be found in cereals, cookies, candy, energy bars, dressings and sauces, bakeries, ice cream and coffee shops, and some cuisine-specific restaurants (such as Chinese, African, Indian, Thai, and Viet...

Antihistamines are a class of drugs that help to treat the symptoms of various allergies. The main difference between first-generation and second-generation antihistamines is that the latter do not cause sleepiness and are considered safer because they interact better with other medications. What Are Antihistamines Used For? Antihistamines are medications that block chemicals in the body called histamines. Histamines are the chemical that gets released after you are exposed to something you are allergic to. They cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction, like: Itchiness Hives Runny nose Itchy eyes Sneezing Insomnia Nausea Vomiting Fatigue There are two different types of histamines: H-1 receptor antagonists and H-2 receptor antagonists. Typically, antihistamines that treat H-2 receptor antagonists treat gastrointestinal symptoms. Both first-generation and second-generation antihistamines treat H-1 receptor antagonists.

EverlyWell IgG test: who's affected? (Photo Credit: Jarun Ontakrai/Shutterstock) Did you purchase EverlyWell food sensitivity tests? Did you expect these tests to provide useful medical information? EverlyWell food sensitivity tests are advertised to be able to diagnose food sensitivities through IgG testing. But the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology , the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , and the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology have all recommended against using IgG tests—including  EverlyWell—to identify food sensitivities. Consumers who purchased EverlyWell food sensitivity tests may have relied on representations that the IgG, or immunoglobulin G , tests could accurately predict which foods they may be sensitive to. However, if these representations are false, consumers could have been duped into spending $159 on an EverlyWell test. Do You Qualify? If you purchased EverlyWe...

Researchers evaluated the importance of transcriptional profiling techniques in identifying underlying molecular pathways of psoriasis. After assessing several studies, the review emphasizes that analyzing RNA alternative isoforms is essential in designing personalized treatment strategies to improve clinical outcomes 1 . Psoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory skin condition with visible signs of inflammation, including cutaneous erythema and scaly skin. It accelerates the process of skin cell production, leading to painful and itchy scaly plaques. The global prevalence rate of the condition varies and ranges from 0.09% to 11.4%. The disease affects more than 7.5 million adults in the United States, accounting for more than 3% of the US adult population 2 . About 90% of people with psoriasis contract its most common form, psoriasis vulgaris. Psoriasis is widely considered an immune-mediated disease in which an overactive immune system speeds up skin growth. Normally keratinocytes grow...

The recent global outbreak of monkeypox has led to more than 45,500 cases as of August 22, 2022. While symptoms usually resolve on their own in 2-4 weeks, a recent study showed that 13 per cent of patients needed hospitalisation. Photo : iStock New York: The antiviral tecovirimat appears to be safe and effective for the treatment of monkeypox symptoms and skin lesions, finds a new study. Tecovirimat (TPOXX) is an FDA-approved antiviral drug for the treatment of smallpox. It limits viral spread in the body by inhibiting the work of the protein involved in releasing the enveloped virus. "We have very limited clinical data on the use of tecovirimat for monkeypox infection. There is much to learn about the natural progression of the disease and how tecovirimat and other antivirals may affect it," said lead author Angel Desai from the University of California, Davis. The recent global outbreak of monkeypox has led to more than 45,500 cases as of August 22, 2022. While symptoms ...

When you complete a workout, your outfit has probably absorbed a fair amount of sweat. But that sweat brings other impurities with it, such as skin oil and bacteria. So, if you leave on your exercise gear for hours or re-wear it for multiple days, you're exposing your skin to some less-than-fresh conditions. When reintroduced to your skin from dirty clothes, trapped bacteria can proliferate, causing irritation, rashes, and sweaty acne breakouts. Bacteria can even cause infections in your follicles or any open cuts or scrapes. "Dirty, sweaty gym clothing is a breeding ground for pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, and their use can increase risks for superficial skin infections," dermatologist Deanne Mraz Robinson, M.D., tells The Healthy. In some cases, this trinity of sweat, heat, and bacteria can also cause conditions like heat rash by clogging your sweat glands or intertrigo, a form of skin inflammation (via Runner's World). And for anyone with a vagina, ...

The sizzle of chicken, onion, cilantro, and carrots is a welcome sound as Pranav Bajaj watches a chef whip up a tasty stir-fry dish just for him. The allergy-friendly meal, prepared with his choice of ingredients at a Northwestern University dining hall, was always a favorite dish for the college student. "Stir-fry is not something I would generally consume anywhere else. That's super special," says Bajaj, of Racine, Wisconsin. Bajaj, who has multiple food allergies, feels safe eating meals prepared for the Pure Eats stations in all of Northwestern's dining halls. This is because they are free of the top 9 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, egg, soy, shellfish, fish and sesame). He also is confident in the measures the dining staff takes to ensure that the meals are free from cross-contact. "It was almost like I was like any other person. I could just walk into any dining hall and eat with my friends. It's huge. It gave me so much freedom,...

Cow's milk allergy is common in babies and young children. It can cause skin reactions, digestive symptoms, and breathing difficulties. A milk allergy is an adverse reaction to food containing cow's milk. It can cause a range of symptoms, including eczema, hives, vomiting, and diarrhea. The severity of symptoms can range from mild to severe. Doctors can diagnose milk allergy using a skin test or blood test. Caregivers should avoid giving products containing milk to infants with a milk allergy. Milk allergy is the most common food allergy in infants and young children. Around 0.5–3% of babies in developed countries have a milk allergy at the age of 1 year. A 2018 article estimated the rate of milk allergy in infants and young children as 2–5% . A milk allergy is an immune system response that happens when a child's body recognizes cow's milk protein as a foreign invader and produces antibodies against it. The antibodies then attack the protein, which can lead to symptom...
