Perfumes, Colognes and Body Sprays Can Be Allergy Triggers

Everyone wants to look their best and will go through great lengths to do so. Daily regimens are part of the human habit to look beautiful, while smelling good. Yet, some of those things that are used to make this happen can easily rub people the wrong way, literally.

Perfumes, colognes and body sprays are nice to have and have some wonderful scents that smell so good and can also make a big difference in the appearance of someone. But, the mere hint of the smell can cause someone’s eyes and throat to burn as it feels tight, itch, begin coughing, sneezing and in some cases a chest that feels tight.

If this happens, it is important for the person who is having the reaction to find another area to go to where the air is clearer and free of the smells.

Fish Is Good, But Not For Everyone

Fish is loaded with benefits and many of the essential vitamins and nutrients that a body needs. A person is supposed to have at least a minimum of three servings per week. The thing is, not everyone can eat fish.

There are several types of fish or shrimp that will cause a person’s body to react to it. When there is an allergic reaction with fish or seafood, the person who has the allergy can begin to show many symptoms, like a problem when trying to breathe, skin that is beginning to turn red, itch, nauseated stomach or a rash. For a more severe allergic reaction, there may be some choking if the allergy is not recognized.

Learning the type of fish or seafood is imperative in preventing something like this from happening. Pay attention and notice the small or big things that go on while consuming any type of food.
