Let’s talk about SLIT (Sublingual Immunotherapy)—a needle-free alternative that offers long-term allergy relief.

SLIT involves placing small doses of allergens under your tongue each day. Over time, this helps retrain your immune system to stop overreacting, reducing allergy symptoms.

Some key benefits of SLIT:

FDA-approved tablet options for grass, ragweed, and dust mites

Custom drop formulations for multiple allergens

Safe and effective—even for children

The first dose is always taken under medical supervision, but after that, treatment continues at home with an epinephrine auto-injector as a safety backup.

If you’re looking for a more convenient, needle-free option for managing allergies, SLIT might be right for you.

July is UV Safety Month! While protecting your skin from the sun is essential, some people experience allergic reactions to sunscreen, such as rashes, redness, or itching.

If you’ve noticed irritation after applying sunscreen, you may have a sunscreen allergy or sensitivity to certain ingredients.

Choose mineral-based sunscreens (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide)

Avoid fragrances and harsh preservatives

Talk to an allergist for safe sun protection options tailored to you

A gentle reminder from your Allergist, that a healthy environment means healthier lungs, happier sinuses, and fewer allergy flare-ups!

Air pollution, pollen levels, and climate change all impact our immune systems more than you might think. This year's theme encourages us to restore our ecosystems – and that includes the air we breathe.

What you can do:
- Check local air quality reports
- Use air purifiers and keep windows closed on high pollen days
- Be good to the planet

Breathe easy, live well – and let’s care for the planet that cares for us. 🌿
