How many of your patients suffer from allergies?
- Over 50 million people suffer each year from allergies
- Allergy prevalence is increasing affecting as many as 30 percent of adults and up to 40 percent of children.
- Allergic rhinitis, often called hay fever, is a common condition that causes symptoms such as sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose, watery eyes and itching of the nose, eyes or the roof of the mouth.
- Approximately 17 million adults and 7 million children have been diagnosed with hay fever in the last year.
- Allergic rhinitis can be seasonal or perennial. Symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis occur in spring, summer and/or early fall.
- Nasal allergies are usually caused by allergic sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses or weeds, or to airborne mold spores.
- People with perennial allergic rhinitis experience symptoms year-round. It is generally caused by sensitivity to house dust mites, animal dander, mold spores or other irritants.
- Underlying or hidden food allergies rarely cause perennial nasal symptoms.
The Benefits of Proper Diagnosis of Allergies
Once diagnosed there are several options for the patient to reduce or eliminate allergic reactions caused by specific allergens.
- Avoidance by eliminating or decreasing the patient’s exposure to the irritants that trigger the symptoms
- Sublingual Immunotherapy – allergy drops that are taken daily to minimize the effects of the allergen to the patient building up the immunity with the goal of eliminating the reaction completely.
- Immunotherapy allergy shots helps reduce hay fever symptoms in about 85 percent of people with allergic rhinitis.
- Over the counter medications to reduce the symptoms as they present to patients.
Allergy Testing Can Be A Valuable Ancillary Service for Your Practice
