Allergies are one of the most common chronic diseases affecting 23
million people in the United Kingdom(1 in 3) at some time in their
life. Allergies are a major trigger for asthma and eczema,
3.4 million people have asthma, 1 in every 5 being a child. 4 out
of every 10 school aged children having at least one allergy.
Many experts agree that modern lifestyles have
contributed to the increase in the prevalence of allergies, with
key factors including pollution of the atmosphere, diets high in
fats and low in fruit and vegetables and warm, well insulated homes,
which encourage house dust mites. Another important factor may be
the lack of exposure to childhood diseases, which may cause our
immune systems to seek other agents to "attack"- i.e. allergens.
Allergic reactions can range in severity from common
cold like symptoms to life threatening anaphylactic shock. Sufferers may be unaware that allergies are triggering their
symptoms.
