I agree, I did not know that cross-reactions may be important.

I think this was the best article I have read on food allergy. I should know, I have had hives from food for the past 5 years. Your site was informative, without going into too much detail. Thus it led to a true understanding of the food allergy situation for the lay person. Clare Flocco

How to control allergies. How to treat allergies divided
into broad groups. Antihistamines and Leukotriene Antagonists
General measures such as the use of soothing creams and wet
wrapping can help allergic skin disease.
Drugs are effective in the control and treatment of allergic diseases
but do not cure the underlying allergy.
The type of drugs, their names, and whether or not they are
available without prescription, varies from country to country.
Drugs and therapy used to treat allergies can be divided
into broad groups:
Drugs that block the activity of chemicals that are released in
the body during allergic reactions - antihistamines and
leukotriene antagonists;
Drugs which relax the constricted muscle around the airways
of the lungs, or shrink congested tissue, or
reverse the effects of the chemicals released
during allergic reactions - bronchodilators,
decongestants and epinephrine;
Drugs that prevent the activation of cells
that are involved in the allergic reaction -
anti-allergic agents;
Drugs which possess a more general action in
reducing inflammation - corticosteriods;
Therapy which modifies the immune response - allergen
immunotherapy.

Allergy Prevention in Children

Allergies are often life-long and although treatable, they are often not curable. It therefore makes sense to try to prevent allergies in children, if possible, than trying to treat them later.
