Asthma and allergic diseases are common in both children and adults. Their development depends on an interaction between asthma genetic and asthma environmental risk factors. Genetic manipulation in multi factorial diseases such as asthma is not feasible in the foreseeable future. However, theoretically, environmental exposures can be controlled in an attempt to stem the rising prevalence of these diseases (primary prevention). Environmental exposures may also influence the frequency of symptoms and the requirement for medication in those with established disease. (more…)

To prevent the development of allergy, allergen avoidance has to be instituted before sensitization has occurred. The specific type of aero allergens may vary depending on the climatic and economic situation. For example, House Dust Mite is the most important allergen in humid climates and pet allergens assume importance in cold countries, while cockroach allergen is the major sensitizing agent in crowded, inner city areas. Several large prospective studies have instituted House Dust Mites avoidance measures during pregnancy, at birth and later in childhood, and assessed children for asthma and allergic manifestations.

Control of environmental airborne allergens such as house dust mites for prevention of asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis/What Does Eczema Look Like is also widely recommended, although not supported by all studies.

For so many allergy sufferers, spring and summer can be an uncomfortable period of time. With Americans spending nearly 90% of their time indoors, it is of the utmost importance that the home has good quality air to help reduce the amount of contaminants that are breathed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concluded that indoor air pollution is among the top five environmental dangers to humans. The EPA also showed that indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than the worst outdoor air! With these kinds of statistics, it is more important than ever to ensure good clean indoor air.
