What the Traveler with Allergies Should Know
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Excited about celebrating her sister's graduation from law school, Elizabeth arrived in Falls Church, VA at the peak of their allergy season. That plus the jet lag sent her reeling for a couple of days.

She made it to the graduation, but it wasn't the joyous time she'd anticipated. They also had to spend hours that could've been devoted to fun getting a doctor's appointment and picking up a prescription for a medication she had at home, and might have been taking beforehand to prevent a full-blown attack.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from allergies, 50 million the US alone. An allergy is "a heightened sensitivity to a foreign substance (called an allergen) which causes the body's defense system (the immune system) to overreact when defending itself."

Allergic conditions include: (1) Hay fever and allergic asthma. Pollen from grasses, ragweed and trees, mold and dust can all cause respiratory and nasal problems. (2) Eczema. Cement dust is particularly likely to cause this. (3) Urticaria (itchy hives). Most of us get this from nettles. You can also get this from strawberries, seafood, cheese; it depends. They can also cause fatigue; after all the body is working overtime at something that's everywhere.

If you travel for pleasure or business, and have allergies, you need to be prepared.

If you're traveling within the US, let's say you're heading for Louisville, KY or Austin, TX, did you know they are numbers one and two on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)'s list of Allergy CapitalsT? Also ranking in the top ten are St. Louis, Atlanta, Charlotte, Hartford-New Haven, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville, Harrisburg-Lancaster-York, and Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo.

However, included among the top 50 are some of the business and tourism cities you'd be most likely to visit - Orlando, New York city, New Orleans, Chicago, Washington, DC, Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. To read the complete list, go here: Allergy Prevention Center .

What can you do?

"Living in or traveling to an Allergy CapitalT should be a reminder to allergy sufferers to control allergy symptoms by planning ahead," says Derek Johnson, MD, an allergist at Temple University Medical Center and a medical advisor to AAFA. "Having a personal Allergy Action Plan can help allergy sufferers prevent symptoms from flaring up and understand how to treat symptoms when necessary."

Check with your personal healthcare professional so you have a plan. Personally, you can visit Pollen.com to see what the pollen count is in that location. It isn't the pollen from the flowers that tends to bother allergy sufferers; it's the grass and tree pollen and low-growing green things.
