What Is An Allergy?

An allergy is your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system's reaction to certain plants, animals, foods, insect bites, or other things. Your immune system protects you from diseases by fighting germs like bacteria and viruses.

When you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to "fight" ordinary things like grass, pollen, or certain foods. This causes the sneezing, itching, and other reactions that you get with allergies.

Why Do Some Kids Get Allergies And Others Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?

Many allergies are passed to kids in the genes they get from their parents - so you have a better chance of having allergies if your mom or dad or other people in your family have them. People can develop allergies at any time in their life.

Many kids outgrow food allergies. Other allergies can last your whole lifetime, although they may be less severe or more severe at different times in your life.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between a cold and an allergy because the symptoms can be similar. If your cold symptoms last more than 2 weeks, you probably have an allergy instead of a cold.

There are other differences between colds and allergies you can look for. With allergies, your nose and eyes itch. Colds don't itch. The mucus, the stuff that comes from your nose or that you cough up, is different too.

With allergies, it's clear like water. With a cold, it's usually yellowish and thick.

If you sneeze and itch a lot, wheeze, or often get sick after eating a certain food, your doctor may want to check you for allergies. He or she will ask you a lot of questions about your health, about the animals and plants in your home, and about the foods you eat. Your answers will provide clues about what you might be allergic to, and your doctor may ask you to stay away from a pet or stop eating a certain food to see if your symptoms go away.

Your doctor may send you to an allergist, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special doctor that helps people who

have allergies. An allergist may give you a scratch test to see if a tiny bit of an allergen will cause a reaction on your skin. You'll feel a quick pinch when the doctor makes the scratch or scratches. If you're allergic, one or more spots will become bumpy, itchy, and red - like a mosquito bite.

Your doctor will probably suggest ways to stay away from the allergen or prescribe a medicine for you to try.

Allergy medicine can be pills, liquids, or even sprays for your nose. If your allergies aren't too bad or if you can avoid the allergen completely, you might not need to take medicine staying away from the allergen might be enough to control your allergy.

If your symptoms don't get better by staying away from allergens and taking medicines, an allergist might recommend allergy shots. These shots make your immune system less sensitive to the allergens and can make your symptoms better.

Most medicines don't help with food allergies. People with food allergies have to learn to avoid any foods that have the ingredients they're allergic to. Your parents and your doctor can help you read the ingredients on food labels. Luckily, many kids outgrow allergies to milk, eggs, wheat, and soy. But allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and seafood usually last.

Also, your parents can help you pack safe snacks for occasions away from home when everyone else might be having something you can't, such as peanut butter ice cream. Then, instead of feeling left out, you can snack along with your friends - without risking an allergy attack and, even worse, having to go home early!

BREAKING NEWS! I Want To Be A Reporter!

What is it that reporters do? They investigate leads, news tips, and write stories that appear in newspapers, magazines or that are told on television and radio. They inform us about events, observations, read documents, take notes, present points of view on current issues and interview people.

Reporters can write their stories or make broadcasts if he or she is working as a newscaster or a news anchor. Reporters can work local, national or anywhere in the world! Some specialize in fields such as health, politics, foreign affairs, sports, theater, consumer affairs, social events, science, business,

weather, or religion. Investigative reporters cover stories that may take days or weeks of information gathering. Some even use cameras when on the scene of an investigation.

A reporter is under pressure to meet deadlines and in most cases - every day. They can work in private offices, in large rooms with other reporters, in the field, live at the scene - basically anywhere and they must work long hours at times. The reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule is usually not 8 to 5. A reporter may work nights, or early mornings and it may also involve weekend work. Traveling is required for most reporting jobs. Many reporters enter information using laptop computers and electronically submit their material to their offices from remote locations.

To do this job, a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in journalism is preferred.

Working at school newspapers or broadcasting stations is good experience that an employer would look for. An internship at a news organization may also help.

A reporter needs to write effectively and clearly, plus be able to type on the computer. You need word processing and desk top publishing skills. It also helps if you can speak a second language.

While in high school, it is important to take English, journalism, social studies, speech, computer science and any writing classes.
