INFORMATION ABOUT ALLERGIES
Allergy Triggers & Symptoms

What triggers allergies?
Dust… Mold… Pollen… Particles shed by your pets. You’ll find plenty of allergens in your home, but the most important are allergens from the dust mite and its fecal pellets.

Up to 30% of all people have allergic symptoms, with the majority being triggered by the house dust mite. Also, skin tests have shown that up to 80% of asthmatics react to the house dust mite.

As part of the overall treatment program, it is important to reduce allergen triggers where possible. If you have been tested and diagnosed as having indoor allergies or asthma, the Allersearch® Home Allergy Treatment Program is just for you.

What are common allergy symptoms?
Sneezing… Itchy eyes… Itchy palate… Runny, blocked or itchy nose… Night-time cough… Wheezing… If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be allergic to allergy-causing particles, known as “allergens,” commonly found in the home. These symptoms may occur year-round and can occur inside or outside the home.

The symptoms listed above are common and vary depending on the person and the particular allergen. The body produces antibodies to fight off the intruding allergen, which in turn produce a chemical known as “histamine.” When the body produces an excess amount of histamine the allergy or asthma symptoms surface.

Keep in mind that each person has his or her own threshold to the amount of allergen they can tolerate before symptoms start to occur. A person can also develop an allergy later in life or stop having an allergy as they age.

If you have allergy symptoms, visit your doctor and ask about the Allersearch® Home Allergy Treatment Program.
