‼️Interest Read: Guess what can be a holiday time allergy-trigger?‼️

❄️🌬There’s something about the holiday season and cold winters that gives many a whimsy-tingly feeling.☃️❄️

Lingering smells of pine from our evergreen conifer Christmas trees & wreaths can be amazing for some of too!

🌲But, those lovely live-trees, mistletoes and wreaths can be harmful inside your household.🌲

They may contain things such as :

•Molds
•Mites
•Pesticides
•Pollen
•Terpenes (chemicals that create the pine-like scent)

In which, each one can activate reactions such as severe asthma, sinus congestion, and more.

Just something to be aware of if you began noticing similar symptoms.

Let’s get through this wonderful winter together!😊

Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a joyful holiday season.

👏👏Kudos to the our Greenbelt, MD location!! We love seeing and hearing these wonderful reviews!!!

Getting tested for allergies can really help you understand your body.

Every reaction may not result in a visible outbreak; some have internal effects that still can affect someone tremendously.

Our advanced testing gives us the capabilities to identify, help & treat patients with:

➡️ Environmental allergens ( woods, trees, pollens , dog/cat hair,etc)

➡️Products (lotions, makeup, etc)

➡️Food Allergens/Oral products (Lidocaines, Medications, Fruits, etc)

➡️Metals (Nickel, Titanium, Copper etc)

➡️& more!!!

🤔Is it Asthma or Bronchitis?

Having a tough time understanding the differences between the two?

🔹Bronchitis is swelling of the large airways in your lungs that can result in a bad wet cough. This is commonly due to infections from viruses and bacteria but may be caused by allergies as well.

🔹Asthma is a swelling of the smaller airways in the lungs that usually results in a dry hacking cough accompanied by a whistling sound or wheeze. Winter asthma can be triggered by infections, exercise, or even laughter when you are having a jolly time during the holidays! Other major triggers include indoor allergens such as dust mites, molds and pet dander. Breathing in cold air alone can lead to coughing and wheezing attacks. Winter time is also chock full of respiratory viruses and germs that commonly cause asthma.
