When his hair stylist switched to an indigenous hair dye he developed severe itching, erythema, crusting, and pustules on the surrounding skin. Now, what could have possibly went wrong?
Gago-Dominguez, a researcher, explained that small amounts of arylamines are absorbed through the skin during the use of hair dye. Don’t dye your hair without having as much of your skin covered as possible. One needs to be careful while applying black hair dye, as it is difficult to remove from any surface including skin and fabric. Lawsone dye infuses skin, hair, and porous surfaces but does not permanently or chemically alter them. Para-phenylenediamine, a key ingredient of many hair dyes, is known to trigger allergic skin rashes in some people. When you use hair dye, you absorb small amounts of chemicals called arylamines through your skin. It “dyes your skin more than your hair,” one well known researcher said.
What is PPD in Hair Dye?
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical substance that is widely used as a permanent hair dye. PPD hair dyes usually come packaged as 2 bottles, one containing the PPD dye preparation and the other containing the developer or oxidizer. The use of PPD as a hair dye is popular because it is a permanent dye that gives a natural look.

Why is it that many hand painting using Henna (herbal dye) develop skin rashes? After all, Henna dye used for hand painting is 100% herbal and does not contain PPD!
That’s because almost all henna-tattoo artists are mixing in black hair dye that contains paraphenylenediamine - ‘PPD’ for short. This mixing of chemical makes the hand dye more permanent, as the palm sweats a lot, the tattoo artist is ensuring that the ink remains for a longer period of time. If you develop skin rash after using a dark dye, you’ll be allergic to all dark hair dyes - anything that contains the PPD compound.
Currently there are no permanent oxidation type hair dyes that can be safely used by PPD allergic individuals. If you have an allergy to PPD and have your hair dyed, you should avoid the use of all oxidation type hair dyes. PPD is an occupational allergen among hairdressers; there is limited cross-reactivity with azo clothing dyes and back rubber. Those who are allergic to PPD hair dyes must avoid all synthetic chemical hair dyes.
Manic Panic hair dye works best on hair pre-lightened to a very light blonde. The idea being that it would look like she was a blonde who occasionally dyed her hair black. Apparently, the darker shades of hair dye contain significantly more chemicals than the blonde shades. The first step is to use the cheap blonde dye to bleach your hair. After an hour, rinse the blonde dye out of your hair.

KOLKATA, Aug 18: Cipla will launch a programme to control respiratory distress among school-going children from 21 August.
Mr Supriyo Banerjee, event manager of the Cipla’s respiratory division, said a survey conducted in a school in south Kolkata revealed that 57 out of a total of 250 students studying in Class V are suffering from respiratory distress and allergy and many of these students take inhaler for relief.
“Many of those who suffer from respiratory distress cannot participate in extra curricular activities fearing that they might fell ill. This often result in mental depression,” Mr Banerjee maintained. He added that the number of children suffering from allergy and respiratory distress is fast increasing in the city and suburbs and many children between the age group of 5
and 10 years have to take inhalers regularly.

The programme will kick off with a day-long workshop on how to combat respiratory distress at Jadavpur Vidyapith on 21 August. Mothers of the students have been requested to attend the workshop. Renowned chest specialist Dr Dipankar Sengupta would examine the students. A documentary film would be screened on the subject. Doctors said there was no problem in leading a normal life with respiratory distress provided the medicines are taken regularly. They said many athletes including swimmers and weight lifters suffer from the disease and take inhalers daily.
It may be recalled that a survey conducted by Cipla has revealed that a large number of traffic sergeants and constables suffer from respiratory distress. Subsequently, health camps were organised to treat them. SNS

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A “placebo effect” can cause a diverse array of symptoms in children when undergoing food allergy testing, according to the results of a study published in the current issue of Allergy. One of these effects is that some patients believe they have had an allergic reaction when they have actually received with the placebo.
This reaction is sometimes referred to as a “nocebo” effect. The more conventional placebo reaction is an improvement of symptoms after receiving an inactive substance rather than the real medicine.
“To date, the occurrence and diagnostic significance of placebo events have not extensively been documented,” Dr. B. J. Vlieg-Boerstra and colleagues from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands point out.
To investigate, Vlieg-Boerstra’s group conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled food “challenge,” in which a patient is exposed a substance that he is likely to be allergic to. A double-blind study is when the doctor and the patients do not know which is the placebo and which is the real medicine.

The researchers examined the occurrence and features of placebo reactions after 132 challenges in 105 children (average age 5.3 years) who were suspected of having an allergy to cow’s milk, egg, peanut, hazelnut or soy. Challenges with a placebo or food were performed on different days with at least a 2-week interval in between.
A total of 17 (12.9 percent) false-positive reactions to the placebo occurred in 17 different children, meaning the children developed food allergy symptoms after being exposed to the placebo. Most of these symptoms (65 percent) were objective, such as rash, hives diarrhea and vomiting. The other symptoms were subjective — reported by the child but couldn’t really be verified.
The researchers conclude that doctors should be aware that some reactions to food allergy challenges may be false-positive, and that these sensitivity tests will need to be repeated.

HealthNewsDigest.com) - CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Halo Technologies, Inc. today introduced the Halo™ UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum, the only vacuum on the market that uses ultraviolet light to safely and instantly kill dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, lice, fleas and other germs lurking in your home’s carpets. And, it does all of this without using chemicals that can harm your children and pets. The Halo UVX is the first of a line of ultraviolet household cleaning products the company plans to launch in upcoming months that will revolutionize the way we clean.
“Our company and our products were born from watching our triplet boys crawl on our carpets,” said Ken Garcia, CEO of Halo Technologies, Inc. “It made us wonder how clean the carpets actually were. Our research findings were astonishing; there are literally millions of harmful germs and micro-organisms living in carpets and mattresses. That’s when we knew that we needed to make a product that would rid our homes of these unwanted pests – not just make things look clean.”
Internet Pharmacy - Buy Pharmacy at reasanoble prices.Internet Pharmacy provides confortable and easy way to order pharmacy via internet.
WHY HALO?
Lifelong allergies are developed within the first 24 months of life. The most common indoor allergen that triggers symptoms in humans is the dust mite. At least 85 percent of homes have carpets, and a typical carpet harbors more than 100,000 dust mites per square yard, not to mention molds, bacteria, viruses and other allergens. The Halo UVX is the only vacuum that “Cleans what you see, Kills what you can’t™.” It uses the same ultraviolet light, UV-C, that has been used for more than 60 years by water treatment facilities to purify our drinking water and by hospitals to sterilize operating rooms and medical instruments.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
UV Light in the “C” spectrum (UV-C) deactivates the DNA of dust mites, bacteria, viruses (including influenza), germs and molds, destroying their ability to multiply. The patent-pending Halo UVX contains a UV-C bulb chamber at the bottom of the vacuum that can be activated by a switch on the handle. Simply activate the UV-C bulb chamber while running the Halo UVX over your carpets and instantly kill these unwanted household pests lurking between the fibers.

Allergy sufferers in southwest Missouri may need to stock up on tissues as experts are predicting a worse-than-usual ragweed season.
“We’ve had so much rainfall this year, and with the abundance of moisture not only does the grass grow well but so do the weeds,” said Gaylord Moore, horticulture specialist with the University of Missouri Extension Service. “I can see a good crop of ragweed.”
The opportunistic plant grows in disturbed soil along roads and fences, but it’s also taking root in pastures thinned out by the recent years of drought, Moore said.
Ragweed typically blooms in mid-August and doesn’t peter out until temperatures reach the 40s.
The weather will have a big impact on how bad the allergy season will be with dry, windy weather carrying loads of the pollen far and wide. Rainy weather, on the other hand, reduces the amount of pollen in the air “so the count won’t be as high even though a lot (of pollen) is produced,” said Larry Dean, supervisor of the environmental laboratory at the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.
A healthy ragweed plant can produce up to 1 billion grains of pollen. While there are 21 varieties of ragweed in the U.S., two dominate southwest Missouri — a small version that grows up to three feet tall and one that towers at up to 16 feet tall.

CAMERON BRYDON is at risk of becoming one of the thousands of children in the UK who have a potentially life-threatening food allergy. As a sufferer of eczema, he has a one-in-five chance of developing a reaction to peanuts.
But the eight-month-old, from Livingston, is taking part in a ground-breaking study which could shed new light on why such allergies develop and how they could be prevented.
The current advice in the UK - as with many other Western countries - is that peanuts should not to be introduced into the diet of babies with a history of allergies in the family for the first three years of life.

This recommendation, however, which was introduced two decades ago, has failed to halt a relentless rise in the number of children developing allergies. It is estimated that child food allergies have more than doubled in the past decade, to affect almost one in 50 in the UK.
With the reasons unknown, one leading expert in paediatric allergies has gone back to the drawing board.
Professor Gideon Lack, of Evelina Children’s Hospital at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, is leading ground-breaking research which will test whether current prevention theory actually works, or whether it would be better for children to be exposed to foods which might cause allergies from an early age.
Around 160 babies have been recruited for the research so far, including Cameron, who developed eczema at the age of three months. His mother Karlyn said that she was keen to enrol him in a study which could benefit future generations.
“He was allocated to the group which eats peanuts, so I give him a peanut snack such as smooth peanut butter at least three times a week. So far he has been fine and they are tested regularly up until the age of five years old.
“You have your own opinions about allergies and I wanted him to be part of it to see whether it is going to be the case that direct exposure is the best strategy,” she said.

Professor Lack said that children in other countries which appeared to have a lower incidence of peanut allergy, such as Africa and Asia, often eat the food in the first year of life.
“But we don’t know why that is,” he said. “There may be genetic differences or there may be other environmental differences, for example sunlight exposure. It is very hard to compare results from different countries to choose the best strategy.”
The Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (Leap) study will recruit 480 babies between the ages of four and 10 months from across the UK who have a high risk of developing a peanut allergy because they have eczema or an egg allergy. Half will follow a diet which excludes peanut-containing foods until the age of three, with the other group eating peanut snacks three times a week under close dietary supervision.
The findings will be assessed once the children reach the age of five. Lack said that although the study would only provide evidence on the best strategy for dealing with peanut allergy, it could pave the way for studies on other foods.
“We won’t necessarily be able to say that the findings apply to egg and fish and other foods, but it will give us a good indication and it will mean that we will need to do those sorts of studies for other foods,” he said.
Lindsey McManus, deputy information manager with the charity Allergy UK, said many children suffered isolation because of their condition.
“Children do get excluded because of their allergies,” she said. “If they have got a peanut allergy, parents are frightened to invite them to their children’s birthday parties or if they have got severe eczema, children don’t want to play with them.
“We want to stop that by educating healthcare professionals and carers across the board as to how they can help manage a child’s allergy.”
l Parents of children under 11 months old with eczema and/or egg allergies and interested in taking part in the study can get information on 0800 234 6522 or at www.leapstudy.co.uk.

ONE of Britain’s youngest bee-keepers is lucky to be alive after being stung three times - and finding he could not breathe.
Gregor Tubb, 12, developed a severe allergic reaction, causing his mouth and throat to swell up.
As he slipped in and out of consciousness, his father, Gerard, raced him to York Hospital, where his life was saved by adrenaline injections.

Now Gregor, of Easingwold, who has been a registered keeper since he was nine years old, has been banned from going near bees again, as one more single sting could kill him. And he must carry an adrenaline injection with him for the rest of his life.
The Easingwold School pupil, who was registered with the York District Beekeepers’ Association at nine and has carried out a scientific study of the creatures, had been stung a number of times previously with no reaction except once, when his hand swelled badly.
But early one evening three weeks ago, he went to take some combs out of the hive when the air was heavy and humid before a storm - which had made the bees angry - and he was stung three times.
He said one bee stung him through his sock on his ankle, another on his leg through his trousers and another on his shoulder, having crawled up his sleeve.
“The first thing I noticed was my eyes hurt because the skin near my eyes was swelling,” he said. “I called to my dad, but it got worse really quickly.
“The next thing was my eyes were so swelled that I couldn’t see. By then I was really frightened.
“I felt it going down my face and I was thinking, please, please don’t get to my mouth and throat’ but it did and it was nearly impossible to breathe. I could just get the odd gasp.
“I know there was all this shouting around me, but to me each shout was like a whisper.”

Gerard, who works for Sky TV, drove him to the hospital in record time with Gregor’s mum, Judith, and sister, Georgina, 14, by his side.
Judith said: “He was coming in and out of consciousness. He would keep nodding off. I wouldn’t have believed your head could swell up that much. It was terrifying.”
On arrival, he was immediately injected with adrenaline and given oxygen.
After about an hour, his symptoms lessened and he was transferred to a children’s ward where he was kept over night and most of the next day.
He has now been diagnosed as having anaphylaxis, which means he is susceptible to life threatening allergic reactions.
As well as having to carry an adrenaline injection with him for the rest of his life, he must stay by his teacher’s side on school trips at all times while his mates run on ahead.
Greg became interested in bees at a science project and attended a nine-week course on bee-keeping. He has sold bees and honey at local fairs and shows and is desperate to continue his interest in bees.
“Nothing else is as good as beekeeping. I keep trying to find ways to work with bees, but I’m just totally banned. I’m gutted.
“I can still read about them and go to talks about them. I went to the Yorkshire Show and the man at the bee tent couldn’t believe I knew so much. But I miss them a lot.”
He said he was hoping to be able to go on a desensitisation course to reduce his allergy to bee stings, but this could take several years.

The number of patients suffering from serious allergic conditions has risen by more than a quarter in four years, but there is a serious shortage of specialists to treat them, The Times has learnt.
Experts call upon the Government today to take immediate steps to combat the “massive epidemic” of severe allergic conditions, which can be fatal in the worst cases.
A report submitted to the Department of Health of data from GPs’ surgeries shows that by 2005 an estimated 12.2 million people in England had been diagnosed with an allergy-related illness such as asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis, peanut allergy or anaphylaxis, the most severe form of allergic reaction.
All these allergies were more commonly recorded among patients from affluent areas compared with those from deprived areas, suggesting that the environment in which babies are brought up could have dire consequences for their future health. Reports from the Royal College of Physicians and the Department of Health have previously given warning that there are not enough specially trained doctors: there are only six specialist allergy centres in Britain.

Pam Ewan, a consultant allergist at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and a member of the National Allergy Strategy Group, said that the NHS was still failing allergy sufferers at “a series of levels”.

“It is a massive epidemic, and the lack of provision is startling,” she said. “GPs are not well informed about allergy at all, but particularly about food allergy, and that is because they are not trained in it.
“So GPs have gained knowledge by self-learning or self-interest, then if a GP wishes to refer to a specialist he will have a problem because there is a very small number of these.”
An “allergy review” by the Government last year made several recommendations in response to a critical report in 2004 by the House of Commons Select Committee on Health, but no extra specialists had been recruited by NHS trusts, Dr Ewan said. “The Department of Health have agreed on the problem, but have failed to deliver the solution,” she added. Allergic responses are caused when the human immune system responds to allergens such as dust mites, pollen or cat hair. This triggers the release of histamine in the body, causing symptoms such as itching, wheezing, and sneezing, but can be fatal.
The research involved a study of 422 surgeries registered on the University of Nottingham’s research electronic database. One in four patients (24 per cent) had had at least one allergic disease diagnosed in 2005, up from one in five patients (19 per cent) in 2001. Rates were highest in the North West and least common in the East of England, the report says.
Eczema and asthma were the most widely recorded conditions, accounting for an estimated 5.8 million patients each, but the largest recorded increase was for peanut allergy, cases of which more than doubled in the five-year study period.
A Department of Health spokesman said that they were considering asking the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to assess clinical guidelines on allergy care.
“We are working closely with the local NHS to help them improve allergy services, \ whether they need to commission more local training posts,” the spokesman said.
A House of Lords inquiry on allergies is due to report this month

If you have allergies, lots of rain is either a blessing or a curse. Depending on what triggers your symptoms, you’re either breathing easy or sniffling and wheezing.
Maine Lobster Festival
Samantha Harkinson is having a hard time enjoying the great outdoors.
“A lot of headaches, stuffy nose, drainage, just everything kind of gross like that,” said Harkinson.
It is the result of wet weather, which has aggravated her allergies.
“If you’re mold sensitive, it’s a bad news bears day because it is really high out there,” explained Dr. Mark Millard.
However, the doctor says there’s a flip side, especially for people who suffer from pollen and grass allergies.
Drugs Online - Buy Drugs Online at reasanoble prices.DrugOnline.cc provides confortable and easy way to order drugs online including drugs free shipping.
“You’re home free because there’s very little pollen in the air. The rain washes it out,” said Dr. Millard.
The rain also reduces high ozone levels, but that is little consolation to mold sufferers in search of relief.
“I take the occasional pain medicine or something,” said Harkinson.
“If you’re wheezing, I would never take wheezing lightly,” said Dr. Millard.
If you have not been to the doctor lately, there are some new medications that might help.
If you are not allergic to mold, don’t think you are off the hook.
The doctor says a lot of rain will mean a bumper crop of ragweed later in the summer.

Shares in Allergy Therapeutics plunged 22pc after America’s drugs regulator froze a trial of its hayfever vaccine when a trial patient fell ill.
Allergy, which has one of the most advanced portfolios of drugs in Britain’s biotechnology sector, said it was “collaborating fully” with the US Food and Drug Administration to discover why the patient developed numbness several weeks after receiving the experimental vaccine.
Internet Pharmacy - Buy Pharmacy at reasanoble prices.Internet Pharmacy provides confortable and easy way to order pharmacy via internet.
Allergy’s vaccine, Pollinex Quattro, is already used in Europe under controlled conditions and has been taken by about 90,000 patients, without serious side effects being discovered.
Ibraheem Mahmood, an analyst at Investec, said: “The Food and Drug Administration is the most conservative regulator in the world. If we had to guess we would say this was caution by them and that it is unlikely to be caused by the drug.”
