Do you have any allergies? I have allergies to redweed and some dogs.
i have seasonal allergies. Pollen makes my eyes itch, i keep sneezing and i have a runny nose. yuck
Sorry to hear that. Do you take any medications to help? I take antihistamines which reduces my reactions.
i usually take over the counter allergy meds. Pollen is a very common allergen
Yeah, I often see a lot of sneezing when there is a high pollen count in the air. At least I am not allergic to peanuts. I couldn't live without peanut butter!
oh i feel you! I eat peanut butter every day!! I feel bad for people with peanut allergy. the allergic reaction can include swelling, asthma, abdominal pain
Yeah, I feel sorry for them. So many restaurants and foods have peanuts so they are limited to where they can go.
i'm sure they have to carry epipens with them
I heard Southwest Airlines will stop giving peanuts to fliers so they don't have issues!
Epinephrine autoinjector
An epinephrine autoinjector is a medical device for injecting a measured dose or doses of epinephrine (adrenaline) by means of autoinjector technology. It is most often used for the treatment of anaphylaxis. The first epinephrine autoinjector was brought to market in the 1980s.
Medical uses.
Epinephrine autoinjectors are hand-held devices carried by those who have severe allergies; the epinephrine delivered by the device is an emergency treatment for anaphylactic reaction.
When anaphylaxis is suspected, epinephrine solution should be given as soon as possible
, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, "You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out." Now, that may be the right thing to do. But I'd rather have that doctor making those decisions just based on whether you really need your kid's tonsils out or whether it might make more sense just to change -- maybe they have allergies. Maybe they have something else that would make a difference.
