Common Causes of Allergic Reaction

Allen Green, M.D. of Center for Optimum Health helps patients to discover and recover from the allergies that are keeping them from living their fullest lifestyles with optimal health. Common allergens that Dr. Allen Green helps alleviate include:

Hay fever is caused by natural irritants such as grasses and trees, dust mites, and animal dander, among other things. If your allergic reactions are seasonal or animal related, you’re most likely experiencing hay fever.

Some of the most commonly discussed and most dangerous allergies tend to be food or drink related. Of all food allergies, peanuts, dairy, and shellfish are often discussed and those who are allergic must be on high alert. However, there are a myriad of other consumables that have people thinking twice, and they are different for each individual.

Certain insect bites and stings can cause a person to develop an allergic reaction. Skin rash and hives, trouble breathing, dizziness, and swelling are some of the common symptoms of this allergy. More severe symptoms might include fainting, vomiting and stomach pain and anxiety.

It may be a hard pill to swallow, but some people develop severe reactions to medications that are meant to help them feel better. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the common medicinal triggers include:

  • penicillin
  • antibiotics containing sulfonamides
  • anticonvulsants
  • asprin/ibprofen/ and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories
  • chemotherapy drugs

Dog may be man’s best friend, but can also be man’s worst nightmare if he has an animal dander allergy to contend with. Whether you’re allergic to your cat, dog, bunny, or snake (yes, even reptiles can cause allergies) Allen Green, M.D. of Center for Optimum Health can help you battle the reaction and reacquaint yourself with your family pet.

A topical irritant is any allergy that you get from its contact with your skin. These can include ointments, lotions, perfumes, deodorants, shampoos and more. This reaction is commonly called contact dermatitis and commonly causes painful or itchy skin rashes or swollen or dry skin.

What is an allergy?

Simply put, an allergy is a response to an allergen. One person’s body may not have a problem with a certain substance, however, an entirely different person’s immune system may declare the same substance as potentially hazardous.

When the immune system kicks in, it will create antibodies that trigger the production and release of histamines. These histamines are what cause the bodily reactions, the teary-eyes, runny nose, coughing, that which attempts to rid your body of its invaders.

What are the risk factors for allergies?

When it comes to the risk factors for allergies, there are host factors and environmental factors.

The host factors for certain allergies are sex, ethnicity, age, and the most telling, family history.

Environmental factors are where and how a person lives. These include:

  • exercise and diet
  • geography
  • preexisting conditions
  • heavy metal exposure
  • exposure to certain illnesses
  • alcohol consumption
  • smoke exposure (especially during childhood)

Complications of Allergies

Unresolved allergies can lead to increased health risks that may present an immediate danger, such as anaphylaxis (a severe and sometimes life-threatening reaction), ear and lung infections, and fungal infections, to name a few.

Allergies left untreated may also cause long term complications, such as a higher risk for developing asthma, and decreased immune responses that would fight off infections or illness. Allergies may also become worse with time.

Low Dose Antigen Therapy for Allergies

Low Dose Antigen Therapy, or LDA is a customized treatment option for patients suffering from mild to severe allergies.

LDA combines small samples of the allergens (in doses that do not cause severe side effects) that are affecting an individual with an enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which stimulates the immunologic response that reduces the body’s reactions to allergens.

This therapy stimulates an increase in the T-regulator cells, which are the regulatory cells that suppress immune responses, in other words: preventing your immune system from attacking benign intruders.

With Allen Green, M.D. of Center for Optimum Health‘s help, Los Angeles patients are discovering customized LDA therapy to help their bodies rebalance their immune response and are living their best symptom-free lives.
