Managing Your Asthma and Allergies this Spring

Monday, December 28th, 2009
dwjtelevision asked:


More than 20 million Americans suffer from asthma and an additional 50 million suffer from seasonal allergies. But both are treatable. Asthma is one of the most serious chronic diseases in the US It is a disease of the lungs in which the airways become blocked or narrowed causing breathing difficulty. “Asthma is a serious disease for many people,” says allergist Dr. William Berger. “For many patients a severe allergy attack can be a life threatening event.” “Hay fever” or seasonal “nasal” allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as tree pollen, grass and the most common allergen, ragweed. “Hhaving seasonal allergies or asthma doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle outdoors,” says Angel Waldron of AAFA. “Allergies and asthma are treatable — you just need to take precautions to minimize the risk of allergic reactions or exposure to environmental asthma triggers and visit your primary doctor or allergist to find the right treatment for you.” For more information on managing your asthma and allergies, go to www.moreaboutthat.info, click on our Asthma and Allergy segment and then download our podcast to see the segment online.

And the Winner Is…. The Best Dog for Allergies That Is!

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Loy Bond asked:


We’ve looked everywhere, searched high and low, and narrowed the field to a few worthy contenders, however, when it comes to the question of the best dog for allergies, one particular breed stands head and shoulders above the rest!

Meet Xoloitzcuintli

Ok, so that’s a mouthful! Otherwise known as Xolo, or the Mexican Hairless, it’s…well… hairless.

Of course, we know that pet allergies are not cause by hair in most cases, but rather by dander, this little still wins our best dog for allergies vote, since that smooth hairless skin is super easy to keep clean!

This little dog, or at least, the breed that has our vote for the best dog for allergies, has been around for a long time – around three and a half thousand years, to be exact, and interestingly enough, although it’s called the Mexican Hairless (which makes it the best dog for allergies) it’s actually found in a hairy variety too! The Mexican Hairless, is in fact a genetic mutation that spontaneously occurred some thousands of years ago, and in fact, each litter of Xolo puppies contains both hairy, and hairless, siblings.

But What Are They Like?

Of course, it’s their non hirsute nature that makes them attractive to those who have allergies, and garnered our vote as best dog for allergies, but you don’t want a dig purely because it’s bald, now do you? Well, aside from being hairless, and therefore the best dog for allergies, the Xolo is by all accounts a placid adult, although they are known to be quite bouncy as puppies. They’re also hunters, and will probably chase the odd small critter. Being quite brave little guys, you’d need to keep an eye on them for fighting too.

They’re small to medium sized, making them easy to manage as well as one of the best dog for allergies, and they used to be revered as sacred by the  Aztecs, so you’re in very good company when  you partner up with a Xolo or Mexican Hairless – one could almost say they’re royalty!

Where Can You Find Them?

Despite a long and illustrious history as a sacred pooch in Mexico, it was only  in the mid twentieth century that American dog clubs and associations even acknowledged the existence of the Xolo, and despite their clear contention for the title of best dog for allergies, they are still very rare, and if you want to get your hands on our pick for the best dog for allergies, you’ll need to contact the local kennel club, or look for a breeder.

While the Xolo may look a little strange, with its smooth skin, pigmented in some, spotted and dappled in others, it is certainly a good choice for the best dog for allergies, and because of this, we may just see a rise in its popularity, along with other breeds like the Chinese Crested, that have very little, if any hair to speak of.

Yenelli asked:


As I was clearing some brush a few hours ago, I must have disturbed some nesting wasps and I got stung on my little finger. Will this help reduce my OTHER (pollen, pet) allergies?
