Blog Post CommentI have been on Ventolin for 7 years due to smoke inhalation scaring my lungs. I am pron to bronchitis and this is what my doctor has put me on. This year we have been denied 3 times from CVS stating FDA ruling. We have tried proair and proventin and they do not produce the results the doctor wants. I will not pay for something that does not work just because the insurance company says so. I can not afford $50 for one inhaler when I was getting 3 every 4 months for $35. I will go with out and...

Blog Post Comment❤️That is so ... Angering... That hypoallergenic can be used as it is! It is like a blatant lie basically. I am so glad that Certified Allergy and Asthma friendly IS actually regulated and based on science-- definitely will be my go-to mark when I am shopping from now on.

Blog Post Comment❤️Thank goodness. Now hopefully we will get it soon, and that it will be afforable. I couldn't do the shots, so hopefully this will be different.

Blog Post CommentThe main triggers for my 6 year old son and I are pet dander from cats, dogs, rabbits. By living in a dander-free home, his environmental allergies and eczema are much more under control with no medication. I also do a lot to keep the indoor air quality good-- weekly washing of sheets in hot water, mattresses and pillows in zippered cases, hepa air purifier in room. When I was young, I did not take my pet allergies seriously and they developed into a serious problem. So I think it should be...

Blog Post Comment❤️Great Valentine's Day Tips! 💖💘💓💌 Yes. Be thoughtful and have a healthy holiday! A book of poetry and a cozy blanket that is safe would be great! A nice mug and a box of herb tea. A sweater that is safe to wear. A pair of slippers is always nice and comforting! For folks that are home bound, how about an adult coloring book and some colored pencils? A nice picture frame that has a picture of you and your sweetie in it! Have a Happy Valentine's Day! 😍

Blog Post Comment❤️I have allergic asthma. I used to get immune therapy shots . Until it was ragweed season and they gave me the shot and my throat Closed up . Eventually they want to try again. . But since I have been sick so often because of my immune deficiency and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia they didn’t want to risk it . My allergic asthma doesn’t just mess with my lungs it also causes my throat to spasm .

Blog Post Comment❤️Dissolvable allergy pills come in handy with allergic asthma especially if you can’t drink water.

Blog Post Comment❤️The last column isn’t being over lapped by all the boxes . This happens to me when I have mango , pineapple and tomatoes it’s only during certain seasons. I’m allergic to grass , willow tree, ragweed . I’m also allergic to latex which can have cross reactions as well . Such as with the skin of some Mellon’s and avocado .

Blog Post Comment❤️Thank you for sharing this information. My allergist mentioned OAS but I didn’t quite understand. This article is great. Now I understand why peach salsa makes my mouth feel odd!

Blog Post Comment❤️I meant the last column is being overlapped .

Blog Post CommentThanks Ben - we changed the formatting so it's no longer a table. Hopeully that issue is fixed.

Blog Post Comment❤️It’s better now . I didn’t realize watermelon crosses with grass . I know it does with latex and also ragweed. Also the list make sense since I can’t meet broccoli and cauliflower.
