Florida Allergy Handbook Theresa Willingham Author

The Florida Allergy Handbook combines scientific explanations for what causes allergic reactions with practical advice on how to minimize symptoms along with cautionary tales from some of the most dramatic sufferers. With a direct, accessible style and a systematic approach, Theresa Willingham begins with the various overlapping pollen seasons and ends with seafood allergens. Along the way she examines plant allergies (including some caused by ingestion), the dangers of mold, and insects, which can cause allergic reactions through stings, bites, contact, or even just close vicinity.
