Immunotherapy is a form of treatment in which small amounts an allergen (pollen, mold, or animal dander) is given to an allergic patient in slowly increasing doses to induce long-lasting tolerance to that allergen. Immunotherapy is very effective in reducing allergy symptoms and is the closest treatment that we have to a cure. The trick […]

For the past decade, pediatricians have recommended avoiding peanuts and tree nuts during pregnancy because of the concern that exposure to an allergen at this time might increase the likelihood of the baby having a food allergy, particularly if there is a strong family history of nut allergy.

It’s winter and the season for runny, stuffy noses, coughing and hacking, and scratchy, sore throats – but not necessarily from allergies.

Alternaria is a ubiquitous mold found almost everywhere in the country and is a normal agent of decay and decomposition as well as plant associated disease.
It’s an unusual name for a weed: Rabbit Bush. And although it is not clear where the name for this Arizona native variety of ragweed comes from, one thing is clear: there is a lot of it and it’s a major cause of allergy problems in the spring. In fact, Rabbit Bush is one of […]
