Our providers are knowledgeable at assessing and treating allergies — from mild seasonal reactions to determining when you need more advanced care at the emergency department.
WHAT ARE ALLERGIES?
Allergies start when your immune system mistakes a normal, everyday substance for a dangerous intruder. Your system responds by attacking the allergen and producing histamines, which creates allergy symptoms. Allergies can range from mild to severe — from minor irritation to anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening condition.
Common triggers:
🌿
Airborne
Pollen, animal dander, dust mites, mold
🐝
Insect
Bee stings, mosquito bites, spider bites
💊
Medicine
Most commonly penicillin and penicillin-based antibiotics
🥜
Food
Eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, nuts, wheat
