Kinds Of Allergies

It’s estimated that 60 million North Americans have some kind of allergy. That's 1 out of 4. It is the 5th highest chronic disease in The United States and the 3rd commonest prolonged disease in kids. Many individuals have more than one allergy type.

INDOOR/Outdoor ALLERGIES

Pollen from trees, grass and weeds are in the indoor/outside allergy category. Other common indoor/outdoor allergy triggers are mold spores, dust mites, and cat, dog and rodent dander. About 75% of people with allergies have indoor/outside allergies. The most common pet allergy is moggy dander.

SKIN ALLERGIES

Skin allergic reactions are another common allergy. The most common reasons behind skin allergies are plants like poison oak, ivy and sumac. Allergic reactions can also be due to skin contact with latex, cockroachs and dust mites, and even some foods. Skin allergic reactions are the primary allergy for roughly 7% of allergy sufferers.

FOOD & DRUG ALLERGIES

While we hear plenty about food and drug allergies, they are the primary allergy of only about 6% of allergy victims. Dietary allergies are more common in kids. Peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish are responsible for 90% of all food allergies. Diet allergies claim over 200 lives annually.

When it comes to common drug allergies, penicillin is the winner. About 400 Americans die every year from allergies to penicillin.
