INTRODUCTION
ALLERGY
House dust mite and pet allergies occur because of a reaction to tiny
airborne particles within the home. Symptoms can include a runny or
blocked nose, itchy, red or watering eyes and wheezing. If you have
5
asthma. Regular use of medication can improve symptoms but
avoidance of the cause can also be important, especially with pet
allergies.

Avoidance of house dust mite
It is impossible to keep your home permanently clear of the mites,
however it can be minimised to a large extent.
By keeping the houses clean, be clear of rugs and carpets specially from
bedroom, avoid soft furnishing in bedroom, hard floors such as wood
are preferable.
Use dust tight covers for mattresses, duvets and pillows. use feathers
rather than synthetic pillows. Wet dust or clean room floors regularly.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a good filter. Try to keep humidity low. Let
bedding air after use. Regularly ventilate the bedroom. Keep soft toys to
a minimum.
Chemical treatments can be used to kill the mites however this is only
recommended only for carpets, as there are certain drawbacks that
include the time taken to apply the products properly, effectiveness, It is
possible that carpets can be stained and that inhaling these products may
be harmful...

Allergy to pets
Animal allergens are the second most common cause of allergic reactions. The
allergens that trigger the allergic response are found in animal saliva, skin and
urine. When animals groom themselves, they lick and the saliva coats the skin,
fur or feathers. The skin cells covered in saliva are shed (this is called animal
dander) along with loose hairs and fur.
Even so called hairless breeds of cats and dogs can cause problems. Additionally,
pets can have flaky skin complaints, like eczema and so can spread large
amounts of dander.
These allergen particles are microscopic and so easily airborne and thus easily
inhaled. This leads to typical respiratory symptoms like rhinitis and allergic
conjunctivitis.

Avoiding the cause of allergy.
IMMUNOTHERAPY (DESENSITISATION)- This
treatment is used mainly when other methods are failed and the case
is severe.
It is done using a series of injections to desensitise the immune
system. The allergen the patient is allergic to is administered in tiny
quantities, via an injection. The amount used is too small to provoke
the allergic reaction itself , but enough to teach the immune system
not to react. Increasing doses of allergen are given at regular
intervals.
This process is very time consuming and expensive and carries a
degree of risk. For this reason its needs to be carefully supervised by
a specialist and performed in a hospital outpatient setting

conclusion
it is hereby concluded from the project
that allergies are common amongst
youngsters nowadays due to changing
atmosphere and increased pollution
day by day. this mainly occurs in small
children and teenagers because of
their incapability to adapt themselves
in adverse conditions.
the only precaution is to stay away
from the cause of allergy and also by
taking regular supplements.
