What the Traveler with Allergies Should Know
Part 3
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

For many of us allergies "just" mean sneezing, sniffling, burning eyes and feeling low, but if you have "anaphylactic shock," the most extreme reaction, you can be in real trouble. And what's most alarming is that it can seem to come out of the blue. It can come from a food you've never eaten, or you can have the reaction to something that's never given you trouble before.

Nick had had beer and lobster (what he discovered to be the offending combination) many times before. What had happened is that on those occasions the sensitivity was "building up."

In people who form this sensitivity, the full-fledged reaction occurs one day "out of the blue." In Maria's case, she'd never had a mango before, and so had no way of knowing she was severely allergic to the fruit.

The symptoms are, difficulty breathing, itchiness, swelling of the lips and throat, and drop in blood pressure, and finally collapse. It can be fatal. They can start immediately, or up to some hours following. If you've ever suffered anaphylactic shock, you've probably been instructed by your physician to carry injectable adrenaline with you and to keep some at home as well.

In Betty's case, her husband happened to have some out in the truck as part of his snakebite kit and was able to administer it to her, recognizing the symptoms.

If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately. Some people experience this to bee stings and certain insect bites.

Put together the location of your travel plus food and you have another potential source of trouble. Another source of information you need is this chart of cross-reactivity between foods and pollens.

If you're sensitive to ragweed, for instance, when it's pollinating you should avoid egg, milk, bananas and lettuce. Foods that cross-react should be completely eliminated during the times when those things are pollinating.

According to the site - WFAA - if you're allergic to dust, you should avoid seafood, nuts and peanut butter, and if you're allergic to molds and fungus, you should avoid milk products, vinegars, alcoholic beverages, mushrooms, yeast and sugar. Part of the information on this site is provided by the American Academy of Otolaryngology.

If you have allergies, keep these things in mind when you're preparing for a trip to another town or country so you can have the best possible trip. Remember to label any medications you take with you, and keep them with you, in pocket, purse or carryon luggage. And, of course, check with your personal healthcare professional for your unique situation.
