Rash decisions

Okay so I wanted to believe the doctor when he said that I might not be allergic to 'that' anymore since I haven't had any for years. So I ate a little and things seemed fine. I ate a little more the next week and all seemed okay. I ate some this week and itchy rash on parts of my body. Not FUN!

So, next time am I going to fall for this 'growing out of allergies' myth. No. Not a bit.

Insect bite allergies

Why do some insects cause an allergic response and others don't? Many people seem to react to mosquito bites with bumps and itching. but only a few people get that kind of response to a tick bite.

Have you ever seen a no-see-um?

Allergic to snow?

My niece has decided she is allergic to snow. She decided this because she gets congested when it snows. It seems to me that this may be more a function of the air pressure changes than a true allergy. What do you think?
