Climate and House Allergens

Picture
It is proved that in the low, underwater, swampy areas, there are more cases of allergy. It can be said for some apartments. Allergens can be of various origins (animal, vegetable or inorganic) but it's enough to change the flat or move across town to make the allergic changes disappear, so they are isolated in a separate group.
In this region moisture favors the development of molds (fungi) and in the summer there’s a lot of dust, so the inhalation allergies, especially asthma, is frequent.
In homes, the most common allergen is house dust, which depends on the material from which the house was built, the overcrowding of residents, etc. In addition to house dust, in homes common allergen sources are molds, and bed items (mattresses, pillows, etc.). It is therefore beneficial to have an air purifier in your home. Visit best air purifiers to find one that’s right for you.
Drugs and chemicals
Drugs can have two kinds of side effects. They may have a toxic effect which is followed by the same trends that are different depending on the drug and that cause the allergic manifestations in hypersensitive allergic people: asthma, urticaria, eczema, rhinitis, diarrhea, etc. regardless of the pharmacological effect. Most drugs are organic compounds that act as triggers only when they bind to proteins of the organism.
The cause of all allergic phenomena is almost all drugs, but some are rarely allergens. The most common are: iodine, bromine, aspirin and other anti-temperature drugs, barbiturates, quinine, sulfonamides, arsenic, mercury, bismuth, penicillin.
Chemicals
Chemicals are most likely to cause changes in the skin and with direct contact.
Ursolic acid which is used for dyeing of fur and hair often causes allergic manifestations in those who work with him (furriers, hairdressers) and in those who are treated with it. Frequently occurring are asthma and rhinitis.
Similar phenomena is caused by the aniline dyes, formaldehyde (with laboratory technicians and other health care facilities where it is used as a disinfectant), chemicals used in photography for developing and fixing films, celluloid and nylon and polyvinyl commonly cause skin changes, and chromium and nickel in the workshops where chrome and nickel plating occurs.
Endo-allergens
These are substances that occur in the body and are usually proteins by chemical composition. They occur in the body during infection and intoxication autolysis or degeneration of tissues.
They can occur under the influence of various external factors like cold, heat or fatigue.
Allergic phenomena are the same as for exogenous allergens: asthma, urticaria, eczema.
Hypersensitivity to the endo-allergens is difficult to prove because these allergens cannot be extracted from them and various skin tests can’t be performed with them.

Physical stimuli
Various physical stimuli: pressure (in the place of pressure on the skin caused by carrying heavy objects, clothes tightening around the waist, neck, and leg) can cause various allergic phenomena in the skin – redness and urticaria).
Sunlight causes allergic skin changes - pruritus (itching), erythema (redness), urticaria and eczema; weather changes that cause allergies are winds, fall in barometric pressure, humidity, air ionization, according to some authors, and are the cause allergic manifestations.
