Asthma brochure
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. It can be triggered by factors like dust mites, pets, tobacco smoke and mold. An asthma attack occurs when the airways in the lungs become inflamed and constricted, making breathing difficult. Asthma is diagnosed through medical history questions, physical exams and lung function tests. It is treated with quick-relief medicines during attacks and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms. Avoiding triggers and taking medications as prescribed can help control asthma.
How Do Dogs Get Tapeworms?
Dogs can get tapeworms by eating fleas or prey animals infected with tapeworm eggs. Fleas transmit tapeworms to dogs by carrying the eggs, which hatch after being eaten. While humans cannot get tapeworms from contact with infected dogs or their fur, they can become infected if they ingest flea eggs from a dog. Tapeworm infections in dogs can be easily treated with deworming medications that cause the worms to dissolve in the intestines.

An allergy occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen like pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. Allergens trigger the production of IgE antibodies that attach to mast cells and cause them to release histamine and other chemicals when re-exposed, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose. While some people produce IgG antibodies in response to allergens and do not experience symptoms, those with allergies produce excessive IgE. Allergies can be treated to relieve symptoms using antihistamines, decongestants, or allergy shots, but cannot be cured.

Epinephrine Autoinjector
The EpiPen contains a single dose of epinephrine that is automatically injected into the thigh muscle when the pen is pressed against the skin. Epinephrine acts immediately to stop anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that can involve swelling of the mouth, throat, or airways and cause difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. If symptoms of anaphylaxis occur, the EpiPen should be used immediately by injecting it into the thigh muscle according to instructions and calling 911, as additional doses may be needed to counteract the reaction.
Food Allergies
Food allergy is an abnormal immune response to certain foods, which can range from mild symptoms to the severe, life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Common food allergies in infants and children include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, while shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and fish are frequent causes of food allergies in adults. Diagnosis involves taking a medical history, diet diary, elimination diet, and tests like skin prick tests and blood tests. There is no cure for food allergies, so prevention through strict avoidance of problem foods, reading food labels, and cleaning shared eating areas is key to managing symptoms.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that affects multiple organ systems rapidly and can potentially cause death. It is caused by allergic reactions to foods, drugs, insect stings, latex, or other allergens. Symptoms can include any combination of skin issues like hives or swelling, respiratory symptoms like wheezing, gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, and cardiovascular symptoms like dizziness. Treatment involves using an epinephrine auto-injector like an EpiPen and calling emergency services, as the reaction can worsen quickly.
Drug Allergy
Drug allergies occur when the body has an unintended negative reaction to a medication. Symptoms can range from mild skin rashes and hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Common medications that may cause allergic reactions include antibiotics like penicillin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticonvulsants, and some chemotherapy drugs. A doctor will carefully diagnose potential drug allergies through a patient history and potentially skin or blood tests before prescribing alternatives or attempting graded challenges to build tolerance. There is no cure for drug allergies, so prevention focuses on identifying triggers and finding substitute treatments.
Asthma Action Plan
The document discusses an asthma action plan, which aims to control asthma through preventing symptoms, reducing medicine needs, maintaining normal activity, sleeping through the night, and preventing emergencies. It explains that quick-relief medicines treat active symptoms while long-term control medicines reduce inflammation and future issues. Triggers that can worsen asthma like smoke, allergens, irritants and colds are also addressed. The plan helps monitor asthma control and what steps to take if asthma becomes uncontrolled or a medical emergency occurs.
Asthma Information
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes airways to narrow and become inflamed, resulting in recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. When the airways become inflamed, the muscles around them tighten causing less air to flow into the lungs. Sometimes symptoms are mild but other times an asthma attack occurs where symptoms intensify or additional symptoms develop. Proper management is needed as there is currently no cure for asthma, but most people can live normal, active lives with today's treatments.
Asthma Triggers
The document discusses common asthma triggers such as tobacco smoke, dust mites, cockroaches, pets, mold, pollen, chemical irritants, and physical exercise. It provides tips for reducing exposure to each trigger, including using covers for mattresses and pillows, vacuuming regularly, keeping pets out of bedrooms, fixing leaks to prevent mold growth, talking to a doctor about seasonal allergies and exercise-induced asthma. The overall message is that controlling exposure to various indoor and outdoor triggers can help manage asthma symptoms.
Asthma Diagnosis
Your doctor will take your medical history, family history of asthma, do a physical exam listening to your breathing and looking for signs of asthma or allergies. They will also do lung function tests to check how your lungs are working and breathing tests. They may also do allergy skin tests to check for nasal allergies and give you medication to see if test results improve to help diagnose asthma.
Asthma Symptoms
This document discusses common asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, which often worsen at night or early morning and make it difficult to sleep. It notes that asthma symptoms may vary over time in frequency and severity for each individual. The document emphasizes that while symptoms are important to discuss with a doctor, they do not always mean a person has asthma, and a proper diagnosis from a medical professional is needed.
Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever, are caused by an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds or mold spores. Common symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. While avoidance of allergens is difficult, medications can help control symptoms, including over-the-counter antihistamines and prescription nasal steroids, decongestants, or sprays. Allergy shots are also available to reduce sensitivity to allergens over time.
