<strong>ALLERGY</strong> <strong>TO</strong> <strong>INSECTS</strong><br />
Allergy to medications is a common problem because of the frequent and sometimes excessive<br />
use of prescription and non-prescription drugs.<br />
Drug allergy sufferers complain of one or more of the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hives which are itchy, red and swollen raised skin lesions.<br />
Angioedema is giant non-itchy hives<br />
Asthma (cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness)<br />
Loss of blood pressure and even shock<br />
Joint pains and swellings<br />
Eczema (excessive skin dryness and presence of a rash. The rash could be itchy, sometimes<br />
intense and the skin becomes rough, thick, broken open at times.)<br />
Mucus membranes<br />
Digestive tract and<br />
Cardiovascular system. Exposure to the offending medication can be through contact with the<br />
skin, breathing vapors from the medication, ingestion, or through injection. Symptoms can be<br />
acute or can develop over a given, sometimes prolonged period of time.<br />
Symptoms from allergy to medications do not relate to how much of that medicine is taken<br />
in or put on the skin. Severe or even life threatening symptoms can result from exposure to<br />
small dose of the medication such as the case with penicillin.<br />
Identifying the offending medication and avoiding any form of contact with it, is very vital in the<br />
management of allergy to medications. You should familiarize yourself with the names of and<br />
the dates you started taking all medications. Remember, it takes only small quantity of a given<br />
medication to produce severe symptoms.
