Allergy Information for Teens

For some people, allergy symptoms are merely an annoyance- occasional sniffles, sneezes, or mild itching. Others endure persistent, more severe symptoms that can disrupt education and relationships, and hinder overall well-being. Chronic symptoms can lead to additional health concerns, such as the development of asthma. In some people with severe allergies, the consequences can even be deadly. Allergy Information for Teens, 2nd Edition, provides updated information about a wide variety of allergic reactions, including rhinitis, sinusitis, dermatitis, urticaria (hives), anaphylaxis, and other allergy symptoms. It identifies the substances responsible for triggering allergies, and discusses diagnostic tools and prevention strategies. The book is organized in the broad subject areas detailed below.
