Discover Expert Allergy Care at Total Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
Allergies are a common yet manageable health concern caused by the immune system's overreaction to harmless substances like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. At Total Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a variety of allergies to help you take control of your health and improve your quality of life.
Common Allergens & Management
Pollen Allergies
Seasonal allergies from tree, grass, and weed pollen can be managed by monitoring local pollen counts, keeping windows closed, and using HEPA air purifiers. Allergy testing helps identify specific triggers for personalized care.
Dust Mites
Microscopic dust mites thrive in bedding and upholstery. Manage exposure with allergen-proof covers, regular cleaning, and maintaining low indoor humidity.
Pet Dander
Proteins in pet skin, saliva, and urine can trigger allergies. Regular pet grooming, creating pet-free zones, and using air purifiers can reduce symptoms.
Mold Allergies
Mold spores in damp areas like bathrooms and basements can cause reactions. Reduce mold with improved ventilation, dehumidifiers, and regular cleaning.
Food Allergies
From nuts to shellfish, food allergies require vigilance. Reading ingredient labels, practicing kitchen safety, and having an emergency action plan can prevent severe reactions.
Insect Venom & Latex
Insect stings and latex products can trigger severe allergic reactions. Allergy testing, avoiding triggers, and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector ensure safety.
Treatment Options
- Allergen Avoidance: Proactively reduce exposure with lifestyle adjustments.
- Medications: Relieve symptoms with antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal corticosteroids.
- Immunotherapy: Allergy shots or sublingual therapy gradually desensitize your immune system.
- Emergency Preparedness: Those at risk of anaphylaxis should carry an epinephrine auto-injector and have a response plan.
