Alergia, la nueva epidemia

For some time now, sneezing, nasal congestion, itching or red eyes have been installed in our lives and more and more people are suffering from them. But what has caused this boom? Why does one in four people suffer from this pathology?. Considered the new non-infectious epidemic of our times, it is one of the six most frequent pathologies in the world and myths and ignorance abound around it, such as believing that allergies can be cured, that if you do not have symptoms you are equally allergic or confuse allergy with intolerance. Respiratory, food, medication, skin or insects are the ones that currently most affect the population and for which we usually go to the allergist. In this book, Dr. Paula Ribó collects all the knowledge accumulated throughout her years of training, research and medical practice to dismantle these false beliefs. When and why allergic reactions appear, what factors can influence their development and what are the most common symptoms according to their type are some of the questions she answers on these pages. Likewise, she exposes the most frequent causes that can trigger a serious reaction and how to act in the event of anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock.
