allergy ???

[sntmig]

I have been living here for years and have recently been tested for allergies. I did this because I have had some on-going cold, and flu like symptoms (head ache,feel feverish,but no fever,slight sinus and nasal probs..) that lasts for weeks,months. I live in a native style house with nipa and bamboo and the allergy tests reveilled a re-action to house and dust mites... HELP !!!
Anybody have suggestions or suffer the same ?

ps...I have cats, and tests show negative re-actions...thank gawd the pussies can stay !!

Allergies ugh! Very bothersome it must be. Are there mango sprayers in your area? The spray stays in the air and can cause endless nasal bouts.

go get a second opinion from a different doctor. If its dust mites then, get rid of them.

Thanks... but ther results are from a lab in Cebu,and I trust their findings... How do you get rid of f'ing dust mites?????

[Rhoody]

that is almost impossible in a native house, sorry

I dont know how to get rid of dust mites but, i would try to figure out something to alleviate the problem. Try google! dust mites and how to get rid of them!

Mam A has a point. Mango allergy is a lot more common than people think...particularly for westerners, a suprising proportion are allergic. I am...diagnosed when we lived in Hawaii for a while many years ago. Sharp doctor figured it out when he found out a tree was in the backyard. Chopped down - problem solved. Can eat some, peeled in limited amounts with pills on standby, but the pollen is certainly bad news...

Are you in Dumaguete? Look for Dr. Ami Madamba in Holy Child Hospital. Im a so-help-me-i-got-allergies-too kid myself. hehehe... IMHO he's a good doctor.

God Bless!
