Symptoms & Types

  • Contact Dermatitis

    Something touches your skin, and your immune system thinks it's under attack. It overreacts and sends antibodies to help fight the invader, called an allergen. The result is a red, itchy rash where the substance landed.

  • Hives (Urticaria) and Angioedema

    Hives, also known as urticaria, are an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps, patches, or welts on the skin that appear suddenly -- as a result of allergies, or for other reasons. In angioedema, the swelling happens under the skin, not on the surface.

  • Allergies to Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac

    Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are plants that contain an irritating, oily sap called urushiol. Urushiol triggers an allergic reaction when it comes into contact with skin, resulting in an itchy rash, which can appear within hours of exposure or up to several days later.

  • Allergies to Insect Stings

    Bee, wasp, yellow jacket, hornet, or fire ant stings are the insect stings that most often trigger allergies. Most people are not allergic to insect stings and may mistake a normal sting reaction for an allergic reaction.

  • Can You Be Allergic to the Sun?

    Most people's skin will burn if there is enough exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, some people burn particularly easily or develop exaggerated skin reactions to sunlight.

  • Cosmetic Allergies

    Some beauty products can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Certain ingredients used in cosmetics, such as fragrances and preservatives, can act as allergens, substances that trigger an allergic reaction.

  • Nickel Allergy

    A nickel allergy is a skin reaction that develops after exposure to nickel or items containing the metal.


  • Warm Farro Salad With Lamb's Quarters

    Lamb's quarters, known for their close-to-spinach taste, seem to grow everywhere: on farms and in yards, parks and gardens (and sometimes in the cracks of sidewalks). In the absence of dependable soil testing, check local farmers markets for them. Don't be afraid to put in a request; some growers simply don't harvest them. Or you can substitute another green, such as chard, which grows well throughout the summer.

    We pre-ordered our lamb's quarters from Next Step Produce at the Sunday FreshFarm Market at Dupont Circle.

    The yogurt needs to drain for at least 30 minutes.
