Question

Like all bad news and the common cold, allergies can pop up when you least except them. I

‘ve been there, having suddenly developed an allergy to crocin ( paracetamol ) some years ago

after having it all my life to treat everything from headaches to fever and toothache . A sea food

loving friend found himself unable to breathe after having Thai food for dinner. A battery of

expensive tests later, he has told the chest tightness was not caused by heart attack but by an

allergy to shellfish , something he ate once a week and had never reacted to before.

(2)A stuffed or drippy nose , frequent sneezing ,an itchy throat ,rash, sinus, ear pain, difficulty

in breathing ,stomach cramps and itchy , red or watery eyes are some of an allergic reaction.

Pollen, dust, polluted outdoor air and indoor pollutants such as dust mites, animal dander,

cigarette smoke and mould are among the common environmental pollutants while other

triggers include medicines , paint and chemicals in cleaners and cosmetics such as hair colour

and skin creams. Among foods, eight allergens account for almost 90% of food allergies; milk,

soy, wheat, egg, peanut, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.

(3) Most of us wrongly believe that people with allergies are either born with condition or

develop identifiable symptoms in early childhood. You couldn’t be more wrong. An allergy can

occur at any time in your life and experts say its prevalence among adults is rising.

(4)While most people who develop allergies as adults have experienced some allergic reaction

– either to the same or an unrelated triggers may be one, but the symptoms are /is usually

caused by a combination of factors. Stress, a sterile environment that prevents the body from

developing robust natural immunity and lifestyle –induced changes in the body’s hormonal

balance are thought to be some triggers. This is borne out by clinical evidence that shows that

women are more likely to develop allergies at puberty, after pregnancy and at menopause, all of

which point to hormonal causes of course, avoiding the allergy trigger and taking an anti –

allergy as soon as you can after exposure to an allergen is the best possible protection.

(5)Since pollen levels generally peak in the morning, people with airway sensitivity and asthma

should postpone outdoor exercises to later in the day or stick to exercising indoors as deeper

and more rapid breathing induced by aerobic exercise causes more pollen and dust being

inhaled, which can wreck your airways and lungs.

(6)Since air pollutants tend to cling to clothes and hair, changing your clothes when you come

home or washing your hair before going to bed lowers exposure.(7)Allergies in adults can be treated using some anti allergic medicines. For those who do not

respond to the standard treatment, there’s always the option of a series of allergy shots to help

the immune system to build up a tolerance to the allergy. In most cases, though, identifying and

avoiding the allergen is enough to stay free of trouble.

(A)The author’s friend found out that…………………

(B)The common symptoms of the allergic reaction are…………
