Synopsis

Allergies: Questions You Have... Answers You Need is your complete guide to allergy. From the different types of allergies to the triggers that set them off and the treatments that bring them under control - you'll find all the answers in this book. Find out what diagnostic tests help rule out other illnesses and pinpoint your allergy; what the differences are between food sensitivity or intolerance and true food allergy; when your symptoms may spell trouble - including potentially fatal anaphylactic shock, the most serious form of allergic reaction - and what immediate measures you need to take; and what the leading allergy medications are and when to use a decongestant versus an antihistamine versus a combination drug.

Reviews

Written in easy-to-understand language, Hay's guide reviews allergy testing and explains why the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) considers certain ones controversial. There is also a good discussion of traditional treatments and medications.
