Can People That Are Allergic To Bee Stings Eat Honey?

Posted on 15 July 2009 (0)

It depends on the allergy, not everyone who is allergic to bee stings will be allergic to the by product of bees.
BUT some people CAN be allergic to beeswax, honey, proplolis, Bees wax craft sheets, candles, royal jelly, bee pollen and its resins AS WELL AS being “Allergic to Bee Stings .

Do not take bee propolis if you have asthma, as it can magnify symptoms.
(Though claims have been made for its use in treating allergies, propolis may cause severe allergic reactions if the user is sensitive to bees or bee products).

If you are allergic to bees stings, have hay fever and/or suffer from seasonal allergies such as pollen BE WARE until you can be tested by a health practitioner to determine your precise allergy.
There is a strong precaution for the use of any bee by product for asthmatics or those who suffer from
A seasonal allergy, that is someone who has an allergic reaction to a trigger that is typically only present for part of a year, such as spring or fall.
This type of allergy refers to a pollen allergy, the pollen bees collect from flowers.

Pollens are tiny egg-shaped powdery grains released from flowering plants, which are carried by the wind or insects, and serve to cross-pollinate other plants of the same type for reproductive purposes. When pollen is present in the air, it can land in a person’s eyes, nose, lungs and skin to set up an allergic reaction.

Due to the natural presence of botulinum endospores in honey, children under one year of age should not be given honey. The more developed digestive systems of older children and adults generally destroy the spores. Infants, however, can contract botulism from honey.

Pollens that are spread by the wind are usually the main cause of seasonal allergies, while pollens that rely on insects (such as the honeybee) to be carried to other plants do not. Most plants with bright, vibrant flowers (such as roses) are insect pollinated and do not generally cause seasonal allergies since the pollen is not usually present in the air.

Sniff at the air conditioning system

Posted on 24 September 2008 (0)

An acid smell reveals typical harmful bacteria and fungi.

Use your air conditioning often, even if it is cold, and smell to the air, it sends out. That is the advice of Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America to the many who over the past few years have had air conditioning in the car, home or office.

Many air conditions are threatening to give users allergy and asthma, because bacteria and mold grows on the inside, but the problem can be solved simply by letting it run at least once a week.

“People are not aware of how incredibly important it is that they use their air conditioners, even though it is cold. It is similar to vent out the house. If you do not, there will be a very fast unhealthy air and this is blown straight in your face, when you turn on again”
It does not pay to switch off

She is backed up by Europe’s largest manufacturer of air conditioning for automobiles.

“People often think that it is too expensive to have their air conditioning turned on all the time because it uses about 10 percent more gasoline, but in the end it can be an expensive saving, because of the costs to get the system serviced at the a garage,” says Per Flensted, who is executive director of Weaco Danmark A/S.

If your air conditioning unit has stood still for a long time, the company recommends to turn it back on a hot day and sniff the cold air. Does it smell of acidic, is a sure sign that the bacteria have made their entry.

“Rotten smell comes from condensation and is almost a mixture of wet dog and old acidic refrigerator. This is not to be mistaken when people know what they’re looking for, “says Per
Flensted.

Have bacteria and fungal spores, first gained a foothold in the cooling stations humid home, there is no alternative but to a visit to the workshop. There are cleaning products to do-it-yourself
people, but they all require a dive into the engine compartment, which would be too big a bite for most.

Professional mechanics have access to a tool that kills bacteria by using gas and this do not require you to open the air condition.
