  • What are the symptoms of a nickel allergy?

    Yes. It is a type of reaction called contact dermatitis. Usually, it starts 12-24 hours after contact and it can get blisters around 48-72 hours. If it is always associated with metal, then nickel, cobalt, or chromium are the most common. The only treatment is avoidance so testing may not be needed. Just keep these cheap metals away from your skin. READ MORE

  • How should I manage my cat allergies?

    The start of wheezing with cat allergy means that you now not only have allergic rhinitis, but you have developed allergic asthma. you need to be evaluated by an Allergist/Immunologist who can evaluate your lung function, diagnose your problem, find out if there are other allergies complicating this and prescribe a controller inhaler. In addition you should strongly consider starting Allergy Immunotherapy if you insist on keeping the cat.

  • Is an allergy to apples possible?

    Yes, this is very common in people who have seasonal allergy to birch pollen. Her immune system is recognizing cross-reacting proteins in the raw apple (also, sometimes in pears, peaches, cherries and all other "stone" fruits). This is called oral allergy syndrome. This also is associated with her being able to eat apple sauce or cooked apples without symptoms.. If this is too bothersome, have her evaluated by an allergist since allergy immunotherapy to a PRW mixture of birch pollen may be helpful. Otherwise, just have her avoid these fruits. READ MORE
