Allergies

For approximately one in five Americans, allergies are an annoying—and potentially lethal—part of daily life. In this program, host Kat Carney examines allergens such as pollen, mold, dust mites, latex, and problematic foods and their effects on the human immune system. An allergist, an arborist, and the author of My House Is Killing Me! explain how people can protect themselves from everyday allergens and how to best treat allergies when symptoms flare up. Suggested remedies include medication, desensitization, acupuncture, and naturopathy. Home inspections and environmental cleanup are also stressed. A Discovery Channel Production. (51 minutes)
