Straight-talking, fact-based information book about allergies.
The World Allergy Organisation estimates that between 30 and 50 per cent of the global population are at risk of developing an allergy. This book looks at the mechanisms that cause allergies to occur, how the body responds, and how allergies are diagnosed.
It describes the different types of allergic illnesses and their effects, and the substances that cause allergies. Common treatments are examined, together with the different factors to be taken into account when trying to reduce exposure to allergy-causing substances.
Clearly designed, with colour photos, glossary, resource section and index.
