Asking about children’s allergies

        ASKING ABOUT CHILDREN’S ALLERGIES

Is a Change of Climate Beneficial to Allergies?
Children with hay fever may find relief by going to areas of the country where their allergenic pollen or mold is not present. Some asthmatics, especially those whose asthma is caused by or complicated by infection, may benefit from a warm, dry climate.

Are Allergies Contagious?
Allergies are not contagious. A child cannot acquire an allergy as he catches a cold.

Are Allergies Confined to Humans?
No. Dogs, cats, and horses get hay fever, asthma, and eczema.

Are All Racial and National Groups Similarly Allergic?
Variations in the percentage of children afflicted with allergies are mostly caused by heredity, living habits, and environment. Allergies are common in tropical Africa; uncommon in New Guinea; and rare among the Eskimos. It is almost unheard of among American Indians.

Is It Dangerous To Do Nothing About an Allergy?
If untreated, hay fever may lead to asthma; nasal polyps may keep growing; eczema may spread and be complicated by secondary infection; occasional asthmatic episodes may become chronic.

Can a Child Die from an Allergy?
Allergies are seldom fatal. However, it is estimated that approximately 5,000 persons in the United States die each year from asthma because asthmatics become less resistant to infections of the respiratory system and their risk during surgical procedures increases. There are fewer than 100 deaths each year from insect stings. However, some drugs (penicillin and aspirin) and certain foods (nuts and seafood) have proven fatal on occasion.

How Are Emotions Related to Allergic Asthma?
Anxiety, fear, anger, and strong excitement may precipitate asthma attacks or make existing asthma become suddenly worse. However, the physical basis of the allergy provoking the asthma attack is always primary and real. The importance of emotions in asthma is so great at times that it may hide or blur the original allergic condition.

How Are Puberty and Pregnancy Related to Allergy?
Two corticosteroid-producing glands (the pituitary and the suprarenal) become very active during puberty and pregnancy. They cause a temporary remission in allergies (thus the belief that the child has "outgrown' his allergy).
