๐Ÿ˜Ž Skin Testing is Very Cool!

A local college student with asthma, environmental and food allergies gave us permission to share their skin prick test results (also known as scratch testing), with many definite positive tests to allergens like pollens, dust, and nuts, and negatives to mold.

The skin test device we use is actually plastic (see the close ups) and there is no blood, needles or shots involved for most patients.

The results appear in 15 minutes and you will leave the office knowing what your triggers are, and how to avoid them.

Skin testing can be done at ANY age (birth to 100), more typically as early as 3 months old for eczema and food allergies.

โญ๏ธTheresa Rafferty RN has been with AANH for 23 years and has given 1000's of allergen immunotherapy injections over that amazing career!

Seeing how well they've worked for our patients, she also receives shots for pollen, animal, dust and mold allergies to help prevent sinus infections!

Holly did a great job this morning, Theresa didn't even feel it!

.. but don't let allergies affect your relationship with your dog!

๐Ÿ“ธ Share a picture of your dog this weekend, and a reply* will be randomly chosen on Monday to win our Teal Pumpkin bucket full of fun over-the-counter samples! ๐Ÿชฃ

Some dog allergy facts you should know:

๐Ÿ• There is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic dog. Breeds that are smaller, shed less, slobber less, and female/neutered male dogs might produce less allergen on a daily basis, but over weeks and months the allergen becomes part of your house dust, and the differences between breeds would not be meaningful.

๐Ÿพ Vacuuming frequently, keeping your bedroom pet-free, and using a HEPA purifier can help decrease your exposure.

๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ An allergist can perform testing to confirm your allergies and create a unique treatment plan to control your symptoms.

๐Ÿพ Immunotherapy (allergy desensitization injections containing purified dog allergen) is a natural treatment that may decrease your dog sensitivity to the point that you are not dependent on medications! We use state of the art dog allergen for the most reliable results.

โ“What's your favorite antihistamine?

Jenna (Happy Medical Asssistants Week!) prefers generic liquid grape Zyrtec (cetirizine)!

๐Ÿ˜ด Old fashioned antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) are heavily absorbed into the brain and block the natural histamines that keep you awake. These antihistamines are often the main ingredient in over the counter sleep, nighttime and PM versions of cold medications.

Very rarely, some of our patients report that "non-drowsy" 24 hour antihistamines cause some drowsiness, with Allegra (fexofenadine) being the LEAST likely.

โœ… No matter what the box says, all antihistamines work for both indoor and outdoor allergies, and all help hives. Allegra for Hives is the same exact medication as regular Allegra.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธWe could talk about antihistamines all day, and we are now accepting new patients! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ

โ“ In NH, when is the best time to get your flu shot for MAXIMUM protection?

๐Ÿ“ˆ Flu cases usually rise in November, peak in December/January, and fall in February. Maximum immunity occurs 2 weeks after vaccination and lasts about 4 months before waning.

๐Ÿ“† Based on past years in NH, the best time is NOW (October 21) through November 7!

Flu vaccine is widely available however our patients can receive it during their appointment.

๐Ÿฅš It is safe for egg allergic patients (even anaphylactic to eggs) to receive any influenza vaccine, even those that contain egg.

The best way to track the spread of viruses (flu, COVID and more) in the Seacoast area is via our local WastewaterSCAN in Dover!

Some convenient ways to add peanut to your baby's diet:
๐ŸฅœPB2 (or PBfit) powdered peanut butter mixed with baby food
๐ŸฅœBamba snacks - peanut puffs, either mashed up with baby food or whole
๐ŸฅœCreamy peanut butter thinned with water or milk and mixed with baby food

Start with a pinch and gradually increase the amount each time you offer it, with a goal of at least 4-5 teaspoons of peanut butter (or more) total per week.

Wait to introduce peanut until your baby is regularly handling solids without difficulty. If your child has severe eczema or other food allergies, ask your doctor or an allergist before introducing peanut!

Doctors have long recommended that infants avoid peanuts. But in 2017, experts officially reversed that guidance, and food allergies decreased sharply.
