10 : Allergic problems and avoiders

This time, I’m going to write about allergic problems and so on. Allergies may cause variable happenings.

In Japan, there are many problems by school lunch. For example, there is the allergic happening that happened last year. It was happened at a elementary school. There was the girl who is allergic to chees. The school lunch of the day was a Korean pancake of potato including some cheeses. The chees-free diet was arranged for the girl and she ate it, but she had a refill of it in all innocence of that it contain some cheeses. Also her teacher didn’t know that. After 30 minutes, the girl complained of symptoms of her illness asthma and she dealt as the disease. She carried around with a parenteral solution to allergies and her teacher recommended to use it, but she said it is different. When an emergency car came at the school, already her cardiopulmonary arrest has been confirmed.

As a matter of fact, I think that it is not need that school lunches. And it is very dangerous for a child who doesn’t know the feeling when the one ate the antigen because it's often the case that the child may mistakenly perceive the allergic disease as other diseases that have ever come within my experience. When I ate school lunch peanuts menu by mistake (I think that it's the fault of my teacher! Because she said that, “It’s a sesame sauce”!! ), I had a sore throat, but I thought, “This is nothing”. That's a relief that the happening stopped before it got too bad because I realized the menu of the day by rash develops on my skin and went to a doctor ahead of time. Perhaps children who has food allergies are turned up whose allergens when the one was pretty young and reduce it, so who doesn’t know the feeling when the one ate the antigen as the girl of the happening. As my case, my parents don’t have food allergies so I can’t tell how the feeling is. I wish parents, especially teachers, paid more attention to allergies (I’m fear the parson who doesn’t know that “rakkasei” is identical with peanuts.).

Then I’ll write about some avoiders that is all I ask of someone who didn’t have food allergies.

First, the problem is on the law of school lunch. It appeals for purveys school lunches to children allergic to any foods as much as possible, but the ways of coping were rough. So allergic happenings at school were increased two times! Ideally, It's deemed desirable to take on allergen-free diet as school lunch not to be stingy with money. For example, there are the ways of replace common wheat with rice powder, and replace milk with soybean milk. Besides, it’s the way that parents make the child hold bag lunch similar to the menu of school lunch of the day. Thinking about allergies not the one has allergies but everybody is the most important.

9 : Various allergies

This time, I’m going to write about various allergies.

 Now the substances which may be said as an antigen are various. And not all these are foods or dirty materials. Most of these are not well-known. But there are many patients of these. For example, there are Latex allergies, allergies to ultra violet rays, celiac diseases, metal allergies, and drug allergies and so on. I will explain about some of these allergies.

First, I’m going to explain about celiac diseases. These are the diseases that glutens in wheat and so on causes disorder reactions. Glutens are one of proteins be contained in wheat or rye, or barley. If you have the diseases and you eat a lot, you may be malnutrition. Because there is a problem in the digestion absorption. This disease may cause poor nutrient absorption and so on. And this disease is rare in Asia. As the symptoms to children of the disease, diarrhea and stomach bloating, stomachaches, vomiting, steatorrhea, constipation, degradation of body weight become irritated. To adults, infertility, abortion, tiredness, sensation of itchiness, pains of bones and joints, iron deficiency anemia, arthritis, osteoporosis, low spirits, numbness in legs, epilepsy and menstrual disorder and so on. As the point at issue, by keep on eating glutens, and it is thought that it may damage to the small intestine and causes liver trouble or cancer of the intestines. To cure the disease, it is need to reduce glutens.

Next, I will write about Latex allergies. Latex is one of ingredient of natural rubber used in gloves for medical purposes. It is gathered up by sap of rubber trees and these contain a lot of proteins. This allergy may affiliate with allergies to melons, bananas, peaches and chestnuts and the like.

Next, I will write about ultra violet rays allergies. These are divided roughly into exogenous photodermatitis and endogenic. The former is by drugs or chemical substances and so on, and the latter is by metabolic disturbance or genetic defect and so on. This allergy may cause itch attendant on exanthema. As this cause, it is that photosensitizer makes ray antigens by catching specific wavelength, and the allergen unites with organism protein and causes allergic diseases. Besides, There are various causes by systemic lupus erythematosus and porphyria and so on. As a cures of ultra violet rays allergies, it is having tested. It is need to test whether the symptoms are by ultra violet rays or other materials. Generally, if the eruptions emerging are looked on the parts of bare skin, it is thought that ultra violet rays may be a case.

Last, I will write about metal allergies. This allergy causes a rash of the skin by metals. As s pathway of entry of the antigens, it is the skin touching with metals directly. For example, the causes directly are metals of necklaces or earrings. Besides, these are also may be causes metals by oral materials, for example, in foods, or dentistry metals.

I referred to Wikipedia to write this.

8 : Examinations

This time, I’m going to write about how to test one’s allergic diseases.

As tests to examine allergic diseases, there are TARC, RAST, prick test, oral provocation test, lymphocyte transformation test, lymphocyte stimulation test, and patch test and so on. TARC is numerical value of protein made in internal and it attracts the cells. Results of TARC change by one’s state of disease once in a while, so it can be used as verdict of degree of seriousness or curative effects. Prick test and RAST are examinations for typeⅠallergies. And a result of RAST doesn’t match with clinical diseases often so it is need to pay attention. Lymphocyte transformation test and lymphocyte stimulation test are the tests to examine for drug allergies or mechanism of other type allergies. Patch test is a test for typeⅤallergies. It is well-known about that it is did when hair dyeing.

Then, I’m going to write and divide these into some groups.

If divide tests of allergies into some groups, there are 3 groups of blood test, skin test and load test. First, blood tests are necessary to conclude to have atopic dermatitis. It investigate what is a cause of atopy. It may check on the number of eosinophile cells, value of IgE, specific IgE, LDH, TARC. These values of who has atopic dermatitis tend to be high. Next, skin tests may cause the one itch because it needs to attach some allergens and there are three kinds, scratch test, intradermal reaction test, and patch test. These are the tests by scratch and or patch some antigens, or inject these into one’s skin to examine the one is allergic to the substances or not, and leave it briefly. If it appears some eczemas or the spot where operated became red, the one is allergic to the antigens. Last, load tests are large-scale tests. It may need to go into the hospital for the tests. Ingesting the substances which the one may allergic to these, and check eczemas appear or not. It is so primitive test but sometimes these may cause a heavy symptom once in a while.

Besides, there are tests to check that the one has asthma or a pollen allergy not. First, how to test the one has asthma or not, that is by respiratory function tests or respiratory anaphylaxis measuring methods. The formers are the test to check the conditions of the lungs and the bronchus. These don’t be applied to children because it needs efforts. The latter are the test by inhaling the antigens and check the faculty of the breath. Next, how to test the one has a pollen allergy or not is to examine into eyes and noses. In the test of eyes, taking the eye mucus or the conjunctiva by a specific brush and examine these whether there is an acidophilic bacterium or not. In the tests of nose is to watch the mucos membrane of it by using small disk.

The results of the tests are change at more advanced ages so let’s undergo the tests periodically.

7 : precautions of allergies

This time, I’m going to write about precautions of allergies.

First, allergies are caused by overresponse of an immune reaction, and in many cases someone having these has allergic atopic diathesis. So it is essential to prevent allergies to inspect for whether you have atopic diathesis or not. Then if you turned out what allergies you have, let’s try to reduce the antigens. Most of things can be allergens are inhalational for example, mites, dandruffs of pets and molds. Then, how can we reduce the allergens? For example, it is gave these ways.

・Cleaning and protect by mites or dusts carpet and tatami mat, futon and sofas and curtains with studious attention by vacuum cleaner and clean by the force of suction one minutes per one square centimeter.

・To replace a vacuum cleaner with another one which doesn’t spread mites and dusts because of evacuating.

・Clearing the air of the room quite often. (It is not enough by only ventilation fan. It is effective to clean the air by bidirectional windows spontaneously. )

・Don’t be suffering from the effects of exposure to cold by air con. Coldness and rapid temperature change, direct rays of the sun may give rise to allergies.

・Washing pajamas and bed sheets quite often.

・Don’t use buckwheat chaff pillows.

・  To cancel a lack of exercise, training of the skin, and conditioning breathing techniques. (Breathe in by nose, and breath out by mouth.)

If you have a bronchial asthma or allergic rhinitis, without take in allergens, these may cause allergic diseases sudden exercise and smoke of incense sticks, having a smoke, sprays, pesticides, some medicines. Especially, it is said that having a smoke causes improving of producing IgE antibodies. And these are difficult to avoid, exhaust gas may induce nasal mucus or asthma. After took exercise, laughing or crying may cause allergic diseases. And it is said that running may cause these but be caused by swimming is a few case, and warming up may prevent inducing a fits. Said about foods, food additives and food colorings may cause these. It is necessary to assignment by attending doctor.

Next, I’m going to write about precautions of allergies by medicines. Taking antiallergic agents in advance can prevent allergies. There is a way to take in protein to develop one’s muscles.

Last, if you are an expectant mother and may have atopic diathesis, you should try these ways for example, stop eating eggs or some things may be antigens. If you have eczemas on the face or the head area or the calyx, when be examined by the test said “prick test”, it gives a result which shows who has allergy to eggs or milk or soya beans in most cases. In this case, it should be necessary to stop eating these. If your first child has any allergic diseases, let’s try the remedy of removing some antigens. It may suppress second child’s emerging any allergic diseases. The term of removing the foods is, as a guide, about two years.
