Premier Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Care

Tomorrow is !

Today, we celebrate the crucial role honeybees play in our ecosystem. It's important to raise awareness about honeybee allergies.

Honeybee sting allergies can cause symptoms ranging from mild swelling to severe anaphylaxis. Watch for hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face or throat.
A great tip is to wear neutral colors and avoid strong fragrances when spending time outdoors, as these can attract bees.

Honeybees are vital to our environment, and with the right precautions, we can safely coexist and appreciate their hard work.

At Premier Allergy, we think it's important to take a moment to raise awareness about shellfish allergies on this delicious day. While they are a beloved delicacy for many, they can pose serious health risks for those with allergies.

Shellfish allergies can cause a range of reactions, from mild symptoms like hives and nasal congestion to severe reactions like anaphylaxis. This includes crustaceans (like shrimp, crab, and lobster) and mollusks (like oysters, clams, and scallops).

We always recommend carrying your medication and don’t be afraid to ask questions to keep yourself safe.
