Winter look of Allergy symptoms
Allergies - one of the unfortunate categories of people. A very wide range of allergens so that only sometimes surprising to see a healthy and happy man, who is not policeman nor violent spring bloom, nor any special Delicacy, no contact with the beloved cat or dog. As is usually regarded as the most allergenic seasons spring, but for the whole army of people it is the first snow is a harbinger of a series of "winter" allergies.
Mexican and Russian sable jerboa
Coat long been recognized by doctors one of the most allergic types of clothing. And since the weather outside is a frequent cold, it is often people all winter walks and constantly blow, sneeze with tumid nose and red eyes, blame for it weather and a weak immunity, but in reality it is banal Allergy Symptoms
Only a small fraction of allergic manifestation of the beauty, dressed in sable, is in response to the body's chemical compounds, which processes the skin, although, of course, do not rule out that option. Studies have shown that allergy in this case can cause formaldehyde, which is still used in the domestic fur industry, or colors, if you're wearing stained coat.
The most common allergy fur coat caused quite common allergic to fur. So if you do not always keep pets at home because of the fact that they cause you allergies, you should not buy and coat to avoid all the unpleasant consequences. However, be aware that there are allergic to dandruff in the hair, but there are actually allergic to wool.
Coat, of course, dandruff is not suffering, so the most reliable method to understand what is causing your winter travails - trip to the allergist. The second option - like in any other clothing, and remove the coat away in a cupboard. If the symptoms pass, then you are, unfortunately, really allergic to Furs, but if not - look for other causes.
By the way, this can cause allergies and down-padded coat.
Frost - red nose
Frost, even small, can cause allergic skin reactions expressed. Most of them - cold urticaria. In this case, the skin "decorate" redness and blisters. These changes often occur not when people feel cold, and when he had warmer. Total 15-20 minutes stay in a warm room - and a rash. Do not confuse it with the usual reaction of normal skin at a sharp change of temperature. In healthy people the vessels of the skin compressed on a cold and extended warm, red skin and begins to itch. But these acts perfectly normal and physiologically to go through the same 20-30 minutes. A characteristic of allergic reactions are exactly edema, which are particularly evident around the eyes and around the lips.
In addition, the symptoms do not disappear as quickly as it would - in the skin, they can stand a few hours.
All these changes occur even with a slight decrease in temperature. And it could provoke not only frost, but bathing, washing dishes or cleaning potatoes in cold water. In this case, quite effective to go out reception some allergy drugs and avoiding hypothermia skin in domestic conditions.
Cold urticaria may also be present in the body of certain proteins that become active under the influence of cold, for example, cryoglobulin - is immune complexes with unusual physical properties. When the effects of cold starts their aggregation - adhesion, which suggested to researchers, leading to the release anaphylatoxic that cause tissue damage. In this case, requires serious treatment Immunology.
The diagnosis cold urticaria established after the cold test (Duncan-test) with ice cube.
Frost often is even cold and dermatitis. In doing so violated food open skin - on the face, ear sink, hands appear itchy exfoliation claret-red spots, skin becomes dry, is changing its image. Sometimes dermatitis affected areas particularly sensitive to cold - it is inside of the thighs and knees. This disease requires complex treatment. Usually are prescribed vitamins A, C, E, PP to improve the peripheral blood. In fact, to get rid of this scourge, leaving at least two weeks, and then only in the absence of hypothermia. If you'll freeze again and again, deadlines are increasing up to a month or even longer.
People suffering from cold dermatitis need to reach to the frost spread fat cream open areas of skin. Your doctor may recommend preventive reception antihistamines drugs. But if the skin is already visible manifestation of cold dermatitis, you should think about local therapy. This nonallergic ointments, means accelerating the healing of wounds, but in complex cases, preparations containing hormones.
And it may not allergy that does ...
Some people even without being exposed to an allergic reaction to the cold, still suffering with only one thought that must go into the street, even in small frost.
For example, there is the so-called cold disease, which is known as Syndrome Reynard. For those who suffer it, small vessels of the fingers are very sensitive to frost. This causes narrowing of capillaries, blood stops affluent to the finger, they are white and are beginning to ache. When the palms became warmer, they became red, but the pain did remain for some time. When the disease attach, allergic drugs are ineffective. You need to go to the rheumatologist, as well as evil can exist as itself, and be a consequence of other diseases.
In addition to all other troubles, cold may cause meteorological Hale. So called inflammation of the lips, which provoked by frost. Often it is allergic in nature, so in some cases helped Antihistamines.
However, the most reliable method - prevention. Before leaving on the street lips must be densely oil with lip care stick, or even better - to cause a special cream designed to adverse weather conditions. Where such measures do not help and Heilit did occur, the treatment depends on the form of the disease. For example, if you're concerned about redness, swelling of lips and painful wound, the appointed vitamins, "heal" drugs and even hormonal ointments. If Heilit dry, that is, lips exfoliant and crack, and in the corners of the mouth there are so-called "angular fissure" help vitamin solutions anti itch and antiallergic ointments
Cold often provokes tears, but it can not be attributed to allergic reactions. Just a sharp frost and wind are natural irritant, which causes narrowing of nasolacrimal canal. This has meant that formed the moisture is not a normal outflow, and instead of being released into the nose, rolled through the region a century.
Help in this situation can be eye drops, which have a calming effect, or present some medicinal herbs. For example, the caraway and cornflower good use for prevention. Strained liquid should be earth in the eyes 2-3 times a day, the better a few hours before entering the street.
How to deal with allergy symptom in the winter?
The most dramatic allergy manifests itself in spring, when trees begin to bloom, providing a lot of pollen in the air. This is all know and are accustomed to, beware of it is spring, not noticing manifestations of allergies in the winter, copy even clear its symptoms to other causes, such as the cold.
Meanwhile, in the winter we live in an extremely uncomfortable environment. All doors and windows tightly closed, the premises of accumulated mass of dust and dust it home - it's just a repository of allergens.
Exhibiting allergy properties of the dust observed even in the 17st century. She is constantly hanging in the air, as if it is, it may flap up at the slightest whiff or drafty. What is just is not there! Paper and textile portage, wool and animal hair people, flakes of insects, there is no cockroaches, but the worst that it is the habitat of microscopic mites. They are invisible eye, and a Program of dust can be up to several thousands of mites. Small fragments of dead mites, and especially their faces, is a powerful allergen. The place of the highest concentrations of ticks are our bed - a place where we are having a dream-third of our lives, most closely communicating with these nice things.
But not only mites cause allergic reactions. Dust to blame itself. Particularly, it is dangerous if the house has pets: cats, dogs, hamster, parrot. Frankly, in the house even dangerous to keep the aquarium, a dry feed for fish - a very strong allergen. I am certainly not talking about the cockroaches - dry flakes of chitinous body are even more dangerous.
So Fight with them! Often the source of pollen and mold are home flowers. So they not only benefit. The most dangerous allergen is tobacco smoke. While you are reading this sentence, in the world died from tobacco smoke at least five people. Health alert will not be in vain. Particularly sensitive to tobacco smoke children. Up to 30% of allergy triggered by passive smoking.
The development of the disease contributed to unsustainable food, sedentary lifestyle, misuse of drugs. Because of all these people is beginning to respond even to those allergens, which have always existed, but did not have earlier this disappointing impact.
How can I deal with them? Remove from the floor and wall carpets - this is real batteries dust. More frequent wet cleaning. Wash clothes at a temperature of 60-70 degrees, do not listen to uncle to the new «Taydom», it does not save you from ticks. Pliers not withstand not only high but also low temperature - 10 degrees when they die. Preferably, the humidity in the room and was not above 50%. Very good help in the fight against mites vacuum cleaners with special filters (such as filters, HEPA), detergents and steam vacuum cleaners. Conventional vacuum cleaners ineffective.
What is proposed for medical treatment, or even the withdrawal symptoms of allergies?
It has long been known drugs such as suprastin, periactin, tavegil, dimedrol, diazolin. Personally, I receive from these drugs uncontrollably drawn sleep. There are newer: claritin, zyrtec. These differ from the first large long-acting and lack of sleeping-pills and other side effects. For the same treatment of serious and protracted manifestations of allergies, please be sure to see a doctor.
