We are all happy to see that the best season is coming, feels a bit 'hot and the evening is not so dark. To tell the truth but there are some who are not so pleased, because this is the worst season for allergies. Itchy eyes, the nose is closed, do not stop sneezing and if someone with asthma should also see that closing the bronchi. Whose fault is it? Plant pollen in the air and sending it with the wind quickly disperses to everywhere. And the fault is also of our immune system that defends us from disease, that instead of taking it with viruses, bacteria and other goes to war to pollen, the pollen of many grasses, plants that grow intertwined with the grain everywhere, with or Parietaria grass that grows on the walls, or olive and other trees. But sometimes he gets angry as well with the fur of dogs or cats, or with dust mites, tiny creatures that live in pillows, beds and dust. Those who have an allergy to mites then, are worse than others because they have a cold all year round. It is called "Attach" from the ancient greek "allos" (more) and "ergon" (work, but also reaction).
Some say that today have grown allergies because we live very clean and without infection, so the immune system no longer take it and ends up with those who dedicate themselves to pollen and mites.
But they have to do those who have an allergy? First you must ask the "prick test" that are made on the skin to see which allergies you have, then they must feel their doctor for treatment that may be right for them. For those who only have an allergy or two, there is the possibility of taking a "vaccine" (treatment specific hypo-sensitization), which often consists of drops to put under the tongue every day. Otherwise I have to take nasal sprays, drops for the eyes and some therapies such as antihistamine tablets in the evening. Something can be done to improve the situation at home, and to reduce dust mites: changing mattress and pillow with those using latex, remove everything that brings and holds the dust (carpet), use vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, and other measures. Should be alert those who have asthma, because they have to go by respiratory specialist to see if they make a specific therapy to keep open their bronchi. So they too can enjoy the nice weather!
