Synopsis
Allergic diseases affect more than 50 million Americans making them the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in this country and that number is on the rise. The cause of this rise may be technology which exposes more and more Americans to new medications, air pollution, and chemicals in the workplace. These trigger everything from asthma to rhinitis to severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)--responsible for 700 deaths each year.
This Sourcebook updates readers on the medical profession's understanding and treatment of allergic diseases. It looks at the common triggers of allergic reaction like pollens, dust mites, and pets plus the less familiar ones like food, exercise, prescription drugs, and chemical odors. It offers reports on the genetic causes of allergy, current diagnostic tests, and new treatment strategies. Additionally it presents statistical data and tips on prevention. A comprehensive glossary and directory of professional organizations and online resources provide guidance to readers for further help and information.
