it's a question i have for my science homework, and i really dont know the answer! please help!
Why is it important for hay fever sufferers to report the levels of pollen in the air in summer months?
Because the higher the pollen levels, the worse their hayfever will be. Also, if they record the pollen level when their hayfever starts, their doctor will be able to tell how bad their allergy is and put them on appropriate medication!

How do docs test kids for allergies such as pet, mold, grass, pollen, etc? Sinus?
How do docs test children for indoor %26amp; outdoor allergies? What's the difference/how can you tell between allergies %26amp; a sinus infection? Can a sinus infection cause goopy eyes?
How do docs test kids for allergies such as pet, mold, grass, pollen, etc? Sinus?
There are several ways to perform allergy tests. The least expensive and most used allergy panel is a skin test. This is where the child lays on their stomach and various allergens in a solutions are either injected subcutaneously. This allows the allergens to get exposure to the dermis.
The panel is then read a various time periods later to evaluate "how allergic" a person it. Rapid response is "very allergic" while slow response is considered a "mildly allergic".
If you are able to take an allergy pill (like Benedryl) and the symptoms go away, the pressure reduces, or the sinus drains, then you probably don't have a sinus infection becuase the inflamatory for infection includes other pathways than the histamine pathway.
If you have a sinus infection, the you will likely have dark yellow to neon green mucus when you blow your nose. If it is all clear, then you can fairly sure there is not bacterial infection.
Sinus infections and allergies can cause "goopy eyes."
Reply:i was tested for allergies (molds, dust mites, cockroaches, pollen etc.) (and i am 12). the most inexpensive and common is the prick test. i was given a prick test. it kinda feels like a sharp brush and duznt hurt a whole lot. it injex serum from each allergen in2 the skin of ur lower arm. if ur allergic to that substance, an ittchy white bump (like a mosquito bite) appears. in case of a severe reaction, ur asked2 stay in the offis 4 about 45 minutes. if u get a severe reaction, the doc gives u epiphepherine, which reverses an allergic reaction that is life threatening. another test AFTER the prick test confirms the allergies and is injectd in2 the skin of the upper arm. the second test allergens go deeper in2 the skin. u can also get a blood test 4 allergies.allergies can b treated by a medicine ur doc perscribed. ( a doc will definitly know the diffrnce between a sinus infection and an allergy!) a sinus infection probly DUZNT cause goopy eyes. (coolo word, goopy!) hope i helped!
Reply:The ony things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
Reply:Doctors give scratch tests to test for indoor and outdoor allergies!
Allergy tests are any of several tests used to determine the substances to which a person is allergic.
Alternative Names
Patch tests - allergy; Scratch tests - allergy; Skin tests - allergy; RAST test
How the Test is Performed
There are many methods of allergy testing. Among the more common are:
Skin tests
Elimination-type tests
Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
SKIN TESTS
Skin tests are the most common. Specific methods vary. The scratch test, one of the most common methods, involves placing a small amount of suspected allergy-causing substances on the skin, usually the forearm, upper arm, or the back. Then, the skin is scratched or pricked so the allergen goes under the skin's surface. The health care provider closely watches the skin for signs of a reaction, usually swelling and redness of the site. Results are usually obtained within about 20 minutes, and a number of allergens can be tested at the same time.
A similar method involves injecting a small amount of allergen under the surface of the skin and watching for a reaction at the site.
Reply:There is a blood test that can be done to check for allergies. There is also a test for sinuses. A doctor can take special pictures of the sinuses.

Is bee pollen good for your skin?
I heard that if you put bee pollen over spots on your face that they would go away... Is this true?
Is bee pollen good for your skin?
No, pollen doesn't come from bees, but from flowers. It is usually crusted with germs and it will usually make skin worse. Besides, a lot of people are alergic to pollen.

What kind of spot are you trying to treat? Try asking your question again posting something like, "I have bad acne; what can I do to treat it?" or, "There's this freckle on my face; is there anything I can do to lighten it?"

How can i prevent pollen from lillies as it stains?
It is not so much peace lillies but the orange ones! It really does go everywhere.
How can i prevent pollen from lillies as it stains?
yeah I know this problem alright, they've ruined many a top for me, even worse is it's highly poisonous to cats, it's often fatal for them. So if there's lillies in a bunch of flowers in the house we very carefully snip off the blobs on the end, catching them on paper or a tissue then wrap it up and chuck 'em away.
Reply:Get a pair of tweezers and remove the orange bit as soon as the lily opens (it won't feel a thing).
Reply:If you're talking about cut lillies which you want to display in your home - simply snip the offending bits out with a pair of scissors.
Reply:I know - it's terrible
Patricia M is right - or cut off the stamens with scissors
Reply:The best thing to do is remove the stamen as soon as the flowers start to open. Then there is no chance of the pollen staining anything as you will have removed it from the flowers.

Where does pollen come from?
what will become the fruit
Where does pollen come from?
Pollen comes from plants. It is used to pollinate so the plants will produce fruit or flowers. Animals do no have pollen. They do have dander
Reply:pollen comes from trees and animals
Reply:Pollen is produced at the tip of a filament, generally in an oblong structure called the anther in flowers.

My son has allergies to dust, dander, pollen. Can anyone tell me if air purifiers work, and if so whats best?
Air purifier helps reduce the symptoms but will not get rid of the problem.
I suggest IQAir HealthPro (around $700). It's one of the best air purifer.
A cheaper solution is Alen A350 ($400). An Austin air purifier is also a good solution.
Avoid ionic air purifiers because they are hazardous. And remember to ask about the replcacement filter costs since cheaper air purifiers are mostly expensive in the long run.

Allergies are difficult. The kids are always sniffling etc. I would definately check with your doctor first to see if there is any medication that can be given to your son before you rack up your electric bill. The doctor may even prescribe allergy shots which are definately worth it in the long run. Air purifiers are ok, except they really don't get rid of the stuff that is causing the problem. They get rid of the most prominent molocules of air that are toxic, or have dirt in them. They also really do rack up your energy bill, sort of like running an AC. IF you have central heat/air, I would suggest buying a filter that is hypo allergenic. It really helps. Also, vacuum once every day, and dust twice a week. It will also tune down the sneezing volume in the house. If you have any pets such as a cat, rabbit, dog, or ferrit I would remove them from the house. If the child dosen't want to get rid of the pets then put him on meds.
Reply:The Ionic Breese Quadra works its best.
Its only 68$ at your local Home Depot.
Reply:Anything that can remove the allergens from the air can be a help. There are many out there. Go get a consumer reports magazine and compare prices and performance.
Reply:Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers work incredibly well. I love them. I've purchased about 9 of them, (on Ebay, cheap), and I've even given them away as gifts. Make sure you get the real deal. Those Home Depot things are crap. I've found that I sleep better with my IB next to the bed. They remove all kinds of crud from the air and wash off easily. Absolutely no sound.
