Synopsis:
Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States, and according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about half of all Americans test positive for at least one of the most common allergens. Symptoms associated with allergic reactions can range from mild annoyances to life- threatening anaphylaxis. Despite their widespread occurrence, however, allergies are not well understood. Allergies Sourcebook, 5th Edition, provides information about the causes, triggers, treatments, and prevalence of common allergic disorders. It discusses the immune system and its role in the development of allergic disorders and describes common allergens and allergic reactions. Information about diagnosis, treatment, coping strategies, and prevention is included.
