Inhalant and Epidermal Allergies
PEOPLE who are allergic to inhalant allergens will often have a ''runny' nose, itching nose, sneezing, tickling of the throat, 'watery' eyes, or itching eyes. They are likely to suffer from asthma or hayfever. It is the proteins in inhalant allergens that is a trigger to the allergy. About one in ten of allergic asthmatics show a delayed asthmatic response to inhalant allergens. The reaction can occur one or two days after exposure. Once symptoms to inhalant allergens have emerged they tend to persist for a long time.
Testing and treatment are available through the allergy centre. Pollens are also a particular form of airborne allergen, but have been omitted from this classification of inhalant antigens and placed in a classification of their own. If you have allergy to inhalent allergens, want the right answers and want to do something about it, then your search is over!
