Allergies are a pervasive medical condition affecting more than 20 per cent of Americans - with symptoms ranging from discomfort of a runny nose and watery eyes, to the sometimes fatal shock of a bee sting. With over 1000 entires, this work provides information on every aspect of allergies. Recognizing that allergic reactions can often be prevented, diminished, or controlled, the authors provide explanations of many complex topics. These include allergens, symptoms and treatments, asthma, food allergies, AIDS and allergies, and antihistamines. This revised edition features: new medications and new information on existing medications; allergies to herbal supplements and alternative therapies; allergies to new medical treatments, such as soy supplements; additional information on toxic plants, such as oleander and crocus; solutions for latex allergies; and asthma camps.
