Penicillin allergy?
Many patients have history of rashes after taking penicillin, however 90% are not truly allergic to it. Testing is available
Did you know that pollution has been shown to increase the “stress level” in some plants. That in turn causes higher amounts of allergen particles – which then “stresses” the allergy sufferer.
Another interesting effect we see is thunderstorm related asthma exacerbations. It seems that rain is good to clear the air from allergen, however thunderstorms have a negative effect, causing allergens to become airborne and therefore cause symptoms in allergic individuals.

The safety of our patients and staff is very important to us. Therefore we have made some adjustments to the schedule (fewer appointments per hour), allergy shots will now have to be scheduled, optimizing staff presence.
