| Ragweed Allergy |
| New studies show that climate change is making ragweed allergies worse than ever. Source: Medical Alert by Merck & Co., Inc. Ragweed-allergy sufferers may have a related condition known as "oral allergy syndrome." Eating certain foods can suddenly magnify symptoms , a reaction known as "cross reactivity." Research has pinpointed the following triggers: bananas, melons, cucumber, zucchini, sunflower seeds, chamomile tea, and encinacea. Those affected will feel their mouth and throat itch or have mild swelling of the lip. Traditional relief for ragweed allergy includes antihistamine, nasal sprays and decongestants. Many doctors recommend that sufferers start treatment 10 to 14 days before the allergy season begins. |
| Scientists are also working on immunotherapy and possibly even an anti-ragweed allergy vaccine. Meanwhile, keep up to date about the ragweed pollution index online with the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology's (AAAAI) Aeroallergen Network . If counts are high, avoid prolonged exposure by keeping your windows closed at home and in your car, avoiding areas where ragweed grows and staying indoors. After being outdoors change and launder clothing and take a full body and hair cleansing shower. |
