Allergy Advice

Types of allergic reactions

Understanding allergies can help you treat them, and here at Bio-Life International, we know a lot about them. Allergies effect around 22 million people in the UK so if you are a sufferer, you are not alone!

In most cases, symptoms are debilitating rather than life threatening, potentially making you feel off colour, drowsy, weak and irritable, but the symptoms should never be treated lightly. Some allergens can cause a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis and this needs immediate medical attention. Infants who suffer with eczema and have wheezing episodes are more likely to develop asthma in later life, so it really is important to take allergies seriously.

Common Allergens & Reactions

Three Common Types Of Allergic Reaction

Eye, Nose, Throat & Chest

  • Sneezing
  • Blocked Nose
  • Itchy Eyes
  • Sore Throat
  • Wheezing
  • Asthma

Skin

  • Itchy, red rash (Hives)
  • Dry, cracked skin and red patches
    (Eczema or dermatitis)

Anaphylactic Shock

  • Tightening of the throat
  • Swollen tongue
  • Swollen lips
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Loss of consciousness

Thankfully, in over 97% of allergy sufferers, reducing the allergen level in the home by at least one-half is enough to prevent the symptoms, enabling the sufferer to enjoy a normal life!

How Bio-Life products can help

What Causes Allergies?

Eye, nose, throat and lung symptoms are normally associated with allergic reactions to:

  • Dust mites
  • Pets
  • Mould
  • Pollen
  • Fragrances
  • Insecticides
  • Weed killers
  • Pesticides
  • Paint

Allergic reactions can also come in the form of skin problems. These can be caused by food as well as contact allergens such as pets, dust mites, chemicals in skincare products as well as paints, garden pesticides or fire retardants in new furnishings or even certain plants. So it is always worth exploring this avenue when diagnosing a skin problem. Find out how Bio-Life’s MediCleanse® skin care range can help with skin problems, and shop the range online.

Please do seek medical advice to be certain of the cause of your allergies, or contact Bio-Life International and we can recommend reputable allergy specialists that can conduct allergy testes to identify the source.

Chemical Friendly Skincare

Sandie Jackson from Sussex

“This product really works! I must admit that I was a sceptic but having seen the results, I am now a firm believer in these products. Used in conjunction with PetalCleanse and AirCleanse we have been able to control my son’s cat allergy.”

Barry Phillips from Aldershot

“I use entire HomeCare range because I am allergic to cats, dogs, horses and dustmites. At last a cure for someone like me so I can have a pet without making me ill.”

Kay Ferguson from Glasgow

“I am allergic to pets and pollen and had to rely on anti-histamines to stop perennial blocked nose. I remember when I first started using PetalCleanse – I began noticing a difference – it cleaned the atmosphere after 3-4 weeks like it said. Now I use AirCleanse and HomeCleanse as well and it has been a big help managing my allergy problems. I feel like I am in control again.”

Chris Lovelock from Haywards Heath

“I am allergic to cats — puffy eyes, breathing difficulties. Now I use PetalCleanse, AirCleanse, HomeCleanse & FabriCleanse. The allergic reaction has gone. Excellent products. Amazed at the difference they have made.”
