art_tatto_design_extremeHealthNFitness Tips: Allergy shots can provide much-needed relief from watery eyes, runny nose and other allergy symptoms. But the shots aren't for everyone. The American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology says they're not appropriate for Food allergies.
Before deciding to begin allergy shots, the academy says you should consider these factors:
- The severity of your allergy symptoms.
- How long your allergy season lasts.
- The effectiveness of antihistamines in treating your allergy symptoms.
- Your desire and ability to take antihistamines and other medications over the long-term.
- Your ability to visit an allergist consistently to get allergy shots.
- Your ability to pay any costs associated with allergy shots.

Combating Myths on cyclic Allergies
With Spring Allergy season looming, people need to know the facts about controlling their allergies like Asthma and Immunology.
According to the ACAAI:
- Over-the-counter (OTC) oral antihistamines are less effective than prescription medicines in controlling a stuffy nose. OTC antihistamines may control some allergy symptoms but have little effect on relieving a stuffy nose or inflammation that often occurs with allergies.
- OTC decongestant nasal sprays are not addictive. However, overuse leads to the need to use more and more nasal spray in order to get congestion relief. Don't use an OTC decongestant nasal spray for more than three days in a row.
- Eating local honey will not combat spring allergies.
- Pollen allergies can lead to food allergies. About one-third of people with pollen allergies also may react to certain foods because some pollens and foods have similar proteins. The reaction is usually mild and may include itchy, tingling mouth, throat or lips.
- Skin tests are more sensitive than blood tests for diagnosing allergies.
- Allergy shots are not necessarily more costly or time-consuming than taking medicine to relieve allergy symptoms. Over time, in fact, they may reduce an allergic person's health-care costs.
