ALLERGY TREATMENT
CHEMICAL ALLERGY
Chemical Allergies, often referred to as chemical sensitivities are much more common than many people believe, but the fact is that in this modern world we all live in a chemical environment.
Today we are exposed to increasing numbers of chemicals without being aware that the chemicals are in the air that we breathe, both indoors and out of doors; in our food, as colours, flavour enhancers and preservatives; in our drinks, even in our drinking water.
Chemicals are in our workplaces and in our homes, affecting our health, and we can't avoid them. Allergy therapists are very familiar with the problems that chemicals can cause and are often called upon to help deal with their effects.
Most allergy tests and treatment programmes have to deal with a number of chemical substances. These include:
• Aerosol sprays and air fresheners
• Detergents and disinfectants
• Petrol and Diesel fuel and fumes
• Washing powders and Fabric conditioners
• Insecticides
• Waste incineration
• Heating oil
• North Sea and Propane Gas
• Paints
