Practical environmental modifications for the inhalant allergy patient

Abstract

Environmental management of inhalant allergens is an important part of a comprehensive allergy management program and is the most controllable aspect by the patient. The safest and most effective way to eliminate an allergic reaction is to eliminate exposure to the antigen that provokes the response. The basic control principles for all inhalant allergens are to (1) remove the source of the allergen if possible, (2) remove accumulated allergen, and (3) prevent the return of the allergen. This article examines the published evidence for environmental control measures in terms of effectiveness, cost, and ease of implementation.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
