breathing meter :: Article Creator Meter That's A Breath Of Fresh Air For Lovers Ben Taylor It is the ultimate accessory for the smooth-talking Romeo who fears he has everything a woman desires ? Except sweet breath. No more will he have to puff into the palm of his hand in an attempt to smell it himself. A pocket-sized 'halimeter' is being developed to gauge the level of odour in the mouth and thus warn him to do something about his halitosis. The monitor is being developed by Spanish chemist Alfredo Sanz-Medel in his laboratory at the University of Oviedo. It measures the amount of volatile sulphur compounds in the mouth.

Until now, those who suffer from bad breath have had little help in determining whether they have a

latex glove allergy rash :: Article Creator Allergies To Dental Materials Suspected allergies in dentistry should be confirmed by an allergy test conducted by a dermatologist or allergist, due to the potential for a life threatening allergic reaction or the development of a long-term occupational disability. When an allergy test to a certain dental material is found to be positive, the dental team should take appropriate precautions to eliminate the use of the offending allergen by using alternative materials, for example, latex-free gloves or nickel-free alloys.

lactose allergy :: Article Creator Why Are Some People Lactose Intolerant? Expert Shares Management Tips Lactose intolerance, a condition affecting a significant portion of the population, presents a challenge in enjoying dairy products due to difficulties in digesting lactose, a sugar found in milk and various dairy items. The root cause lies in the deficiency or absence of lactase, an enzyme vital for lactose digestion, which is predominantly produced in the cells lining the small intestine. This deficiency can stem from both genetic and non-genetic factors. We spoke to our expert Dr Shweta Jaiswal, Senior Dietician - Sharda Hospital to shed some light on why only a few individuals are lactose intolerant and what are its management strategies.

zyrtec non drowsy :: Article Creator CVS Health Professional Addresses Accessible Ways Patients Can Treat Seasonal Allergies Ahead Of Increasing Pollen Uptick CHARLESTON, W.Va. — As many start to experience more sneezing and sniffling with the arrival of increased pollen and springtime allergies, a health professional at CVS is laying out some of the many symptoms and treatments to look out for as the season gets in full swing. A registered pharmacist and Pharmacy District Leader at CVS Health, Sarah Matichak told MetroNews that West Virginia is reporting high pollen activity this year as we make the transition from winter to spring.

potato allergy :: Article Creator 10 Food Allergy Symptoms In Adults, And How To Treat And Prevent A Reaction While many food reactions occur in children, adults are not immune to receiving a food allergy diagnosis. For Grace Guthrie, it had been a stressful season so she was psyched for the long weekend she and her boyfriend, Duncan, had planned in Arkansas's Ozark Mountains in January 2020. The area had great museums and mountain views, and her parents had given her a gift certificate for a famous restaurant. The couple was visiting an art museum when they stopped to eat lunch at its café. Guthrie, a 29-year-old dietetic intern at the University of Kansas Medical Center, had known she was highly allergic to peanuts since she'd had a bad reaction to them as a toddler. But she was not allergic to tree nuts, so after mentioning her peanut allergy to the waiter she ordered the cashew–sweet potato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. The
