Re: Can I eat canned or frozen fruit if I'm allergic to fresh fruit?

Shea6/26/219:46 PM

👍

I have full blown allergies to some fruits (apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes) and I cannot eat them as juices, in jams, pies, marinades, or in wines or I get really ill-- at the very least vomiting, bad itching and redness, heat everywhere, just bad.. Sometines starts to affect breathing too and I carry epipens abd benadryl along with my asthma inhalers. I avoid these foods strictly (along with nuts). My son has some full blown allergies and some OAS/pollen-food syndrome. Usually...

Re: Could I have a cannabis allergy?

Good enough reason for people to only go smoke it in a well ventilated location by themselves. Drives me crazy. Any cigarettes smoke or cannabis triggers my migraines and asthma. People unfortunately don’t understand manners or personal space.

@BenR Secondhand smoke from cigarettes, cannabis, and anything else that burns is indeed problematic for folks with asthma. If and when possible, those with a legal prescription could use other forms of marijuana (e.g. edibles) which would avoid the trigger (i.e. smoke) that affects so many people.

Welcome, @Arle ! It's good to have you here.Yes, smoke of any kind is part of What Causes or Triggers Asthma? Every year, wildfire season is an ordeal for members in AAFA. Closer to your question is a topic does wood smoke from backyard fire pits bother you too? I hope we can give you good answers and you'll join in the discussions at the Asthma Support forum.

Re: What are some ways I can manage my cat allergy?

No one likes to say this to people.. Doctors don't like to say it, but I got so ill from living with cats I was allergic to that I really wish I heard it earlier than I finally did. Now my case was severe-- but it didn't start so severe.. I took a medication called Singulair and it worked so well I thought it was magic, I had like no reactions. I moved in with my then boyfriend who had cats after starting it (I had went to my doctor asking if there was something I could take because my then-...

Re: Where should I move to help my allergies?

JR10/15/218:55 AM

@Grg , You're right on both accounts. The further a place is from a coast (or large lake), the less humid it's likely to be. Regarding the "honeymoon period", this is entirely possible. Many folks with asthma and/or allergies experience atopy . This can lead to developing allergies (that you didn't have before) to triggers in the new environment.

Re: What can I do for allergies that get worse when I exercise?

Grg10/25/211:17 PM

Hmmmm. Soooo. The 2 types: allergic and non allergic, would cover rhinitis? Or is it more broad than that? Trying to avoid triggers for the fall season when my immune system is the weakest, could turn into a full time job. But I guess that is 'par for course' as I enter into this new world of survival due to allergies and asthma. 🙁 gps On Mon, Oct 25, 2021, 09:55 Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America < support@aafa.org> wrote:

Re: What can I do to help treat swollen eyes after cat exposure?

*I am not a doctor,* I suffer from cat allergies also. Gently wash your eyes, face with clean water & ivory soap, or gently use a baby wipe cloth. Use Refresh eyedrops. If you lay down in your bed after touching, being with the cat, you will have to wash, clean your bedding before you go to sleep again. Its not being "rude," if you want to be near cats, to wear a mask, gloves, eye covering/protective goggles. Cat dander gives me asthma, along with other allergic reactions. I can't be...

I tried everything for my allergies and asthma flareups - like got rid of pets, changed hardwood all through, changed all cleaning and other products to chemical free / organic. the only thing that's left is moving out of this home and it has been under radar for the past 4 years, but not sure where to - or just moving out of this home might even help
