| Spring Break Allergies | | It’s time for Spring Break! Spring Break is a preview of summer vacation for high school and college students – a short time away from school that is often filled with sunshine, time at the beach or pool, and alcoholic beverages (at least for those at least 21 years of age). While Spring Break is a time for fun, various forms of allergies can put a damper on the good times. |  | | | Allergic Reactions During Spring Break | | Allergic reactions to sun exposure, sunscreen, swimming in the ocean or lake, and allergic reactions to alcohol can turn Spring Break into a trip to the doctor’s office. Here’s what to look out for... | | | | | Allergic to Sunshine | | Learn the advantages and disadvantages of using over the counter Flonase or Nasacort for the treatment of nasal allergy symptoms. Which one is best for you? | | | | | Sunscreen Allergies | | The growing concern over skin damage and skin cancer has led most people to use sunscreen before spending a day at the beach. This increased use of sunscreens has lead to the development of allergic reactions to the chemicals found in sunscreens. Many of these reactions are similar to the types of reactions seen with poison oak, called contact dermatitis. | | | | | Allergic Reactions to Alcoholic Drinks | | Alcoholic beverages can cause a wide variety of allergic reactions in people. There are a number of different types of reactions that can occur as a result of drinking alcohol, including true allergic reactions, flushing, hives and swelling, and nasal congestion. | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About Allergies newsletter.
