The most common symptoms of an allergic reaction include:

Sneezing, coughing, a runny or blocked nose, a red itchy rash, worsening of eczema or asthma symptoms, itchy and watery eyes.

Though there might be more severe reactions including anaphylaxis – so allergies should always be taken seriously.

Anaphylaxis is severe and potentially life threatening, so look out for the following symptoms:

Feeling lightheaded or faint, difficulties breathing , wheezing, fast heartbeat, clammy skin, feelings of confusion, collapsing, losing consciousness, Swelling and Sickness.

Here are the most common allergens that can cause reactions ranging from mild to full anaphylaxis.

Food – nuts, milk, fish, shellfish and some fruits are the ones known to cause the most reactions. You can combat this by making sure that you correctly label any cakes or treats that you make and by being aware of what ingredients you use when feeding friends or relatives. These days, with raised awareness, there are plenty of free from options at supermarkets and other stores, so make sure to stock up on dairy free or nut free items when hosting any parties just in case. You can also easily find gluten free options too.

Medicines – the most common reactions come from aspirin and antibiotics, so don’t administer medication to anyone without checking first.

Insect stings – wasps and bees in particular, so make sure to be aware and prepared just in case.

Many mild symptoms can be made easier by using over the counter antihistamines, but you can help support those that have allergies by reducing the number of triggers in their vicinity, such as not having flowers in the house or keeping a nut free kitchen. If you have pets and your guests have allergies, make sure to clean the rooms that they will be in before they arrive and keep the pets away from them. You can also keep the windows open to stop dander and fur from settling.

Those who have severe allergies often carry an epi-pen around with them, so make sure you know where they keep it in case of emergencies. Don’t administer their pen unless you know how to do so correctly.
