#allergies

I’m all stocked up on disposable face masks again. It was a pleasant surprise to me to see how much wearing a mask helps on days when the pollen or pollution counts are high, too. They’re not only for disease prevention. I would have started wearing them decades ago if I had known they were helpful in those other situations, too. #Masks #AirQuality #Allergies

1. i’ve outlined my experience with both sides of the changes:

• 2a. ACTIVE ingredients, like triclosan ―which were always problematic

• 2b. INACTIVE ingredients in pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals that are the most often involved in what the industry called “personal injury” cases. in my case it involved cancer immunotherapy. in my son’s case, immunization.

all this to say: in spite of those 1994 changes, we should have more than one choice of #vaccines BECAUSE OF #ALLERGIES 🧵…

This may be a long shot, but does anyone know of any source for historical data (even just for this year) for pollen allergens by species for European locations? The source I am using groups all grasses together, and I'm curious about specific types. #Allergies #Pollen

🔥 psa for anyone taking quercetin on a regular basis 🔥 this may be common knowledge and just previously unknown to me, but i've just today discovered that quercetin chelates iron/blocks iron absorption and can lead to anaemia and/or low ferritin levels. so if you're taking it regularly, please have things checked! (and if ferritin is low enough, just stopping quercetin won't be enough to bring it up and possibly neither will otc iron supplements, so please do get some numbers / help if necessary) i've just been in tears from finding this out as quercetin is one of the few things that helps me at all, and given i have no medical care, one of the few things i can access. i've been taking a decent dose daily for the past ... 13 years? but my ferritin was on the floor at my last blood test a year ago (ofc i couldn't find anyone to do anything about that). and i can't even take oral iron, not that it would help if i could, given my levels, but. yes. yay take care people and good luck #MCAS #POTS #hEDS #LongCovid #allergies

Spring bloom arrived early across much of the United States this year, bringing pretty flowers and trees into view while also handing allergy sufferers an early dose of sneezing, itchy eyes and worse. Another side effect of our changing climate. Read more from @InsideClimateNews@flipboard.com: https://flip.it/0dHE9u #Science #ClimateChange #Health #Allergies

Brilliant. Made my way to a coffee shop, settled in. Next people in bring a Labrador and sit next to me. Super duper. #Allergies
