Santa Monica, CA-
If red, white and blue equals hives, tissues and shortness of breath due to asthma, your Fourth of July celebration isn’t headed in the right direction. Independence Day and other summer celebrations should be filled with barbecues, flags and fun, not allergy and asthma triggers.
“Summer is a time to be out enjoying warm weather and friends,” says allergist, Dr. Bernard Geller, Allergy & Clinical Immunology Medical Group. “Unfortunately, some traditional elements of summer celebrations - think fireworks and barbecues - can set off alarms for allergy and asthma sufferers. But knowing how to avoid allergic triggers can mean a Fourth of July that’s sure to make everyone happy – and healthy.”
Here are four tips from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology to help make sure your Fourth of July is filled with all the right kinds of summer fun, and no allergic flares.
