We’re in the dog days of August and summer continues to hold on. What better way is there to relax than in your nice, cool pool? Unless you’re allergic to it, of course. I had a patient this summer who developed an itchy rash all over. He thought it might be due to his pool, but insisted that he kept it immaculately clean. Ironically, that might have been the trouble.

Latex allergy became widely recognized in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  The increase in latex allergies cases is felt to be associated with the increase use of latex gloves and implementation of universal precautions (now known as standard precautions) in the 1980s. Management of possible or confirmed latex allergic patients begin with history and suspicion: All patients who present for surgical procedures or exams which require latex gloves (pelvic exam, dental exams, etc) should be questioned about possible latex allergy.

The concern is that contrast contains minute amounts of free iodide and as such, IV administration of this material puts the patient at risk of a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction. Contrast is often given in these tests as it traces out bloodflow enabling the physician to see organ and mass architecture much more clearly allowing for improved accuracy in seeing anything abnormal. Well… rest assured that patients with iodine and seafood allergy CAN receive contrast without any significant increased risk of an allergic reaction as compared to other allergies.

However, in May 2011, Meda Pharma announced a new anti-histamine nasal spray Rhinolast Allergy that is available over-the-counter. The active ingredient is azelastine, the same one as found in the prescription nasal spray Astelin and Astepro. Azelastine has a triple mode of action: anti-histamine effect, mast-cell stabilizing effect, and anti-inflammatory effect. Azelastine has a rapid onset of action of 15 minutes. It can be used from the age of 5 years. This nasal spray can be used in combination with other over-the-counter anti-histamines medications taken orally like zyrtec, claritin, allegra, and benadryl.

The pollen that gives you itchy eyes and a runny nose may irritate more than just your sinuses. According to dLife, allergies and allergy medication may affect your blood sugars.Not all allergy medications will spike your blood sugars. Watch out for decongestants with sugar and/or alcohol listed in their ingredients. They may affect your blood sugars and leave you feeling more worse-off than your allergies alone. There’s not much research available on this topic, so we took our question to the community and posted a poll on Facebook: Do seasonal allergies affect your blood sugars?A quarter of those who responded said seasonal allergies raise their blood sugars, one per cent said they lower their blood sugars, 43 per cent said their allergi...

No joke… They published their findings in the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology in March 2011. The rate of asthma found in patients with little or no nasal hair was 44.7% whereas only 16.7% of patients with a dense forest of nasal hair had asthma. They hypothesize that increased nasal hair improves allergen filtration thereby preventing the allergens from irritating the airway. The assumption here being that allergen irritation of the airway can potentially cause asthma. IF this is true (and that’s a big if)… patients with allergies should be encouraged to grow nice thick nasal hair to prevent future ...

It is meant to promote discussion and make patients aware of the issues involved. Allergy shots, unlike medications like claritin and flonase, offer patients with significant allergies a way to potentially be cured of their misery without the need for daily medication use. However, there is a small, but substantial risk for anaphylaxis and even death with allergy shot administration. After all, a patient is being injected with the very substances that cause their allergies. As such, many allergists will allow allergy shots to be administered ONLY within a medical setting. Also, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) specifically forbids allergy shots to be administered at home...

As related by Dr. Jerome Groopman, there’s a shift in how some doctors think about how these conditions  are best managed and, even better — might be prevented. The article feeds into recent discussion that medical science, and even dogma, too-often turns out to be incorrect. Groopman interviews Dr. Hugh Sampson, director of the Jae Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York: …“This increase in the incidence of food allergy is real,” Sampson said when we spoke recently. He cannot say what is causing the increase, but he now thinks the conventional approach to preventing food allergies is misconceived. For most of his career, he believed, like most allergists, that children are...

There’s a mysterious phenomenon in which some men, immediately after having an orgasm, come down with a flu-like illness, or skin rash.  Scientists are saying these men may be allergic to their own semen.  The condition is known as post-orgasmic illness sydrome, or POIS.  I bet soon you will hear of another syndrome called pre-sex bullshit syndrome PSBS, where a man actually gets sick of his own lies told trying to convince a girl out of her panties.  You heard it here first! Semen is the cloudy white body fluid that is emitted from the urethra of the penis during orgasm. The average volume of semen produced in a single ejaculation is 5 ml, or a teaspoon.

The guidelines were published online at the NIAID food allergy guidelines portal, which also has a frequently asked questions section. The agency will release a patient synopsis early next year. The guidelines establish consistent terminology and definitions, diagnostic criteria and patient management practices. Additional topics covered by the guidelines include the prevalence of food allergy and management of acute allergic reactions to food, including anaphylaxis. The report also identifies gaps about what is known about food allergy. NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MACP, said, “Because thes...

But for the first two weeks of August, a lot of my patients were complaining about their allergy symptoms getting worse. And for some people, their asthma was getting worse as well.
