Anaphylaxis
In rare cases, allergens can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis that can result in shock and can even be life-threatening. Allergens most likely to cause this dangerous response include some foods (such as peanuts and shellfish), drugs, insect stings, and latex. The reaction may begin almost immediately after contact with the substance.

If you or anyone shows signs of anaphylaxis, call for medical assistance immediately. Anyone with life-threatening allergies should always wear medical identification jewelry and carry an Epi-pen? (a self-injecting medication pen).

Here are some tips that can help you keep your house allergy-safe:

? Limit the number of carpets in your home. It is easier to remove allergens from smooth, hard floors such as tile or wood.

? Keep out of your basement. Most basements are damp, which encourages mold growth. A dehumidifier may help as well.

? Enclose your mattress in a vinyl cover to protect against dust mites.

? Remove all cloth drapes or curtains from your bedroom and replace with blinds.

? Wash bed linens and pillows in water hotter than 130? F to kill dust mites.

? Use an air purifier with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate-arresting) filter to minimize the allergens floating in the air.

? If pet dander (skin flakes) is the cause of your child’s allergies, finding a good home for the pet might be the best solution, but if the pet is an important member of the household, this may not be an option. The next best thing is to keep the pet out of your bedroom.
