If You can’t Escape Em’ Avoid Em’
Do you know that allergies and the medication that people consume to tame them are worth an estimated $18 billion Dollars. Over 50 million Americans alone suffer from the disease and global figures are mind-boggling. The term allergy actually denotes a drastic reaction by the human body to known allergens such as pollen, dust, food and many other irritants that causes reactions within the body. The gene that makes one person highly reactive to one allergen may actually not affect the next person which is due to the individual characteristics of the human body and the differences in the way we react to them. Nobody is immune for even a child can be born allergic of all things milk, to the elderly who got welts as an allergic reaction to new medication. The best defense is to steer away from these allergens but some being seasonal, the only way to deal with them is to take medication that does not actually cure the disease but tames the allergic reaction making it more bearable.
