The Newest Allergy Products

It started with food manufactures who discovered there was big money to be made in marketing allergy products as a premium brand. Soon some super markets had complete shelves, rows and even aisles devoted to selling specialty allergy products. Wheat, gluten, and dairy free are all good sellers and in many cases are more profitable for companies. The latest allergy marketing includes allergy free cars and allergy friendly vacations.

Fords Allergy Cars

Most people do not consider the possible exposure to allergens in their car but given the amount of time spent in cars they probably should. Cars do not get cleaned nearly as often or as well as most homes and many areas like under the seat are near impossible to clean. Many cars also have thick carpet which is a magnet for allergens and more things get spilled in cars and are not cleaned up as well which is a open invitation to mold. Add to this the fact that cars also contain many materials that are designed to be durable and not as natural as those in the home.

Now Ford has received the Seal of Quality from the European Center for Allergy Research Foundation, the first ever to be awarded to a car manufacture. The award was given to 6 Ford cars for being designed to reduce allergens to the lowest possible levels.

The Six Cars to Receive The Award Where:

• Focus
• C-MAX
• Mondeo
• S-MAX
• Galaxy
• The Ka

Allergy Friendly Resort

They have also made a effort to not plant trees and other plants that broadcast high amounts of pollen. Special pollen nets measure counts for scientific purposes and to examine the results of changes. Of course smoking is banned and even local bakeshops and restaurants do their part to provide allergy free alternative foods. The town has been endorsed and certified by the European Center for Allergy Research Foundation.

Are Allergy Drops a Good Alternative to Shots?

Many people who get tired of their chronic allergy symptoms or find their symptoms getting worse to the point where they can not function turn to immunotherapy. Traditional immunotherapy involved a series of shots over a period of years and often reduced allergy symptoms and the need to rely on medicine to control allergy symptoms. Immunotherapy does not work for everyone and many people are turned off by it because they do not like getting shots.

Allergy drops also known as sublingual immunotherapy are one alternative for people who want to try immunotherapy but are afraid of needles. Sublingual immunotherapy can be good for children because it is pain free. Allergy drops are generally placed under the tongue for a minute or two where they can quickly enter the blood stream, after this time the remainder is swallowed. Allergy drops are easy and convenient to use and many people find them easier to stick with then traditional treatments. Allergy drops can also be more cost effective than allergy shots because they usually require fewer doctor visits than shots.

If you have wanted to try immunotherapy for years but are afraid of shots you may want to ask your doctor about allergy drops, however they are not for people with minor or occasional allergy symptoms. Allergy drops have been used for many years in Europe but if you live in the USA they are not yet approved by the FDA. Clinical studies are under way and FDA approval is expected in the next few years. If you want more information on allergy drops ask your doctor on your next visit. Most debate among researchers centers around the amount and number of doses that need to be taken per day.
