Hello Dolls!

After recently noticing another Starblog post spotlighting hayfever (allergic rhinitis) issues, it really brought to my attention that allergies are a not-very-often discussed topic on the Starblog.

Allergies are a condition in which the immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Although allergies are physically unable to see and it's impossible to tell a person with allergies apart from a person without allergies, they affect many daily lives.

Speaking from personal experience and having allergies for as long as I can remember, allergic reactions are not at all fun. Though there's no guarantee that these tips will help everyone, here's a list of things I normally will try whenever having or recovering from an allergic reaction:

- If you have itchy or watery eyes, lay a warm washcloth on them! It tends to help relax your eyes.

- Feeling tired? Try taking a short nap. Sleeping helps to heal your body!

- Feel a bit off? Try eating a small snack or having a glass of water. Being weak can make a reaction even worse!

Remember, always trust your instinct! One small move can stop a life-threatening allergic reaction.

How do you deal with allergic reactions?

Until next time,
