Allergies

New research found that drinking camel milk can reduce the severity of asthma caused by house dust mites, a major trigger. While the research is still in the early stages, it opens the door to using camel milk in combination with existing therapies.

Children exposed to the common antimicrobial triclosan were more likely to develop allergic symptoms, a new study has found. It raises fresh concerns over the health impacts of a chemical widely used in everyday products.

Scientists have developed a nasal 'molecular shield' that disarms pollen, blocking allergic reactions fast without the use of drugs. This non-invasive method to effectively silence hay fever could be a game changer for around 81 million Americans.

Children with high-threshold peanut allergies showed incredible improvements after undergoing an 18-month program using store-bought peanut butter to desensitize them. The approach could help nearly a million kids with this type of allergy.

The itch from bug bites, rashes, and other skin conditions can sometimes be so overpowering that it feels impossible to avoid scratching them. But new research explains why you might want to hold off as long as you can.

New research has found that a chemical abundant in fruits, vegetables and plant products can suppress the immune response seen in food allergies. It paves the way to developing a natural treatment for this globally increasing problem.

Australia, the ‘allergy capital of the world,’ has launched a world-first free nationwide treatment program for children with peanut allergies. The goal is to safely build tolerance so that kids don’t need to worry about the possibility of a life-threatening reaction.

People who’ve been suffering from allergies for a long time without relief may actually have chronic sinusitis, requiring a different treatment, a study has found. Here's a list of sinusitis signs and symptoms to watch out for.

A drug used to treat asthma has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening reactions in people aged one and older with multiple common food allergies, including peanuts, following accidental exposure.

Researchers have discovered a never-before-identified type of memory B cell, an immune cell that ‘remembers’ what a person is allergic to, potentially opening the door to new therapeutics to treat allergies, including life-threatening food allergies.

Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. It could be the first nanomedicine to prevent allergic reactions.

For the first time, scientists have found that measuring airborne allergen levels, instead of the traditional method of performing a pollen count in real time, can help the 25% of US adults with hay fever better assess risk and manage their symptoms.
