• 00:01 - 00:01

  Hey, guys.

• 00:01 - 00:03

  Um uh, Well, welcome back.

• 00:05 - 00:07

  I hope you guys are having a good week so

• 00:07 - 00:11

  far. Well, today we're gonna talk about allergies, uh, and

• 00:12 - 00:12

  how they're annoying.

• 00:13 - 00:17

  They are basically, and how basically an allergy is just

• 00:17 - 00:19

  over action of your immune system to something that should

• 00:20 - 00:20

  be completely harmless.

• 00:21 - 00:24

  Hey, like I said before, it's like your body sinkhole

• 00:24 - 00:26

  and be like it's the black leg, right?

• 00:27 - 00:29

  Uh, similar help.

• 00:30 - 00:34

  People reacting to the current state Now first you have

• 00:34 - 00:36

  to talk about is what is an allergy on allergy

• 00:37 - 00:40

  occurs when someone's immune system reacts to a specific steps,

• 00:40 - 00:42

  since in the environment that is usually harmless.

• 00:42 - 00:44

  So, like as I stated before, could be calling.

• 00:45 - 00:47

  It gets into your body and your body's like, Ah,

• 00:48 - 00:50

  no, it's going to kill us In no reality, Poland

• 00:51 - 00:52

  doesn't do anything to us.

• 00:53 - 00:55

  So those subsistence like pollen are known as an allergen.

• 00:57 - 00:57

  Other allergens.

• 00:58 - 01:01

  You can have our pet owner insects Poland.

• 01:01 - 01:06

  As I stated before, mold dust mites, specific foods, like

• 01:06 - 01:09

  people have peanut allergies or they're allergic to shellfish.

• 01:10 - 01:13

  Um, and other different types of things like that.

• 01:14 - 01:17

  Some medicines as well can trigger allergic reactions.

• 01:17 - 01:18

  For example, penicillin.

• 01:19 - 01:22

  Penicillin is actually derived from a mold.

• 01:23 - 01:26

  Uh, so some people do have an allergic reaction to

• 01:26 - 01:29

  penicillin on penicillin is kind of the basics.

• 01:30 - 01:32

  A basis of our antibiotics.

• 01:33 - 01:35

  Uh, it's not used as frequently anymore.

• 01:36 - 01:39

  Uh, so a lot of people will have an underlying

• 01:40 - 01:45

  penicillin, Uh, allergy, But they won't necessarily know about it

• 01:45 - 01:46

  because not all antibiotics.

• 01:46 - 01:49

  Seymour used penicillin, for example.

• 01:49 - 01:53

  My mother is allergic to penicillin, and my brother did

• 01:53 - 01:55

  not know that he was allergic to it until he

• 01:55 - 01:56

  was prescribed an antibiotic.

• 01:57 - 01:57

  Later in life.

• 01:58 - 01:59

  On you started looking like an alien.

• 02:01 - 02:03

  Yeah. Everything from started to swell, and he looked really

• 02:03 - 02:05

  funny. We realized that hey, Mom passed on the allergies

• 02:06 - 02:06

  and my brother.

• 02:08 - 02:11

  Although it has not been confirmed 1% that allergies are

• 02:12 - 02:17

  genetically linked, there is some service concurrently going on that

• 02:17 - 02:21

  look at the history of genetics and why some people

• 02:21 - 02:22

  are allergies and others don't.

• 02:25 - 02:28

  So quick allergies are actually very vomit.

• 02:28 - 02:31

  A lot of people have allergies throughout the entire world.

• 02:31 - 02:34

  We're actually seeing an increasing rate of people that are

• 02:35 - 02:35

  having allergies.

• 02:36 - 02:39

  There are a lot of theories out there as to

• 02:39 - 02:42

  why people are becoming were allergic.

• 02:43 - 02:49

  There are theories that, uh, introducing Deimos genetically modified foods

• 02:49 - 02:53

  has caused our body to react to this because we

• 02:53 - 02:56

  changing the genes of what were interesting that we've also

• 02:57 - 02:59

  talked about or other people in the name talks about,

• 03:00 - 03:04

  like adding additional things, too, like milk like out of

• 03:04 - 03:07

  antibiotics to the cows, cause of the enterprise get the

• 03:07 - 03:09

  milk, which could affect how our boys were active things.

• 03:10 - 03:14

  A recent report in 2018 say that 86% of people

• 03:15 - 03:18

  in us will experience it allergy throughout their lifetime, whether

• 03:18 - 03:21

  it be mild to moderate or severe, we're not sure,

• 03:21 - 03:23

  but they will experience it somehow.

• 03:27 - 03:32

  So we have different types of allergic reactions, So basically

• 03:32 - 03:36

  the symptoms depend on if it's mild, moderate or severe.

• 03:38 - 03:40

  A lot of people don't know this, but the first

• 03:40 - 03:43

  time you're exposed to an allergy is the for the

• 03:43 - 03:43

  first time.

• 03:44 - 03:48

  Your system is actually respond very mildly, because remember how

• 03:48 - 03:49

  he talks about the immune system.

• 03:50 - 03:53

  You have one cell that knows howto react and act

• 03:54 - 03:56

  with the pathogen on.

• 03:56 - 03:58

  Well, it's kind of the same thing or by hasn't

• 03:58 - 03:59

  seen the allergen before sunrise.

• 04:00 - 04:03

  Like, uh, we reacted just enough to kill it off.

• 04:04 - 04:06

  But the second time's the Macia is going to remember

• 04:07 - 04:09

  it is going to go kind of full bore and

• 04:09 - 04:12

  like red alarms and oh, my gosh, work's gonna kill

• 04:12 - 04:15

  me. And that's when you're gonna have the more severe

• 04:16 - 04:18

  reaction. So the first time is usually very mild.

• 04:18 - 04:20

  Reaction to the second time is when you have that

• 04:20 - 04:22

  severe reactions that occurs.

• 04:23 - 04:27

  So symptoms of that mild reaction are things like hives.

• 04:28 - 04:29

  They, especially in sensitive skin area.

• 04:30 - 04:33

  So you can see it around the neck, chest, groin

• 04:33 - 04:38

  and armpits Region where you have hives, it's you nasal

• 04:38 - 04:40

  congestion or runny nose.

• 04:40 - 04:43

  You can have either or rashes and then water and

• 04:43 - 04:44

  red eyes.

• 04:44 - 04:47

  All of these are triggered by that excess amount of

• 04:47 - 04:51

  histamine. That lovely chemical mediator that friends out that S

• 04:51 - 04:55

  O s distress signal hand causes things to Basso dia

• 04:55 - 04:59

  late gay, which again remembers things rush to that area

• 04:59 - 05:02

  so rash when he looked bread because blood is rushing

• 05:02 - 05:03

  to the area.

• 05:04 - 05:06

  Okay, um, the watery eyes does.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  It causes your lateral ducks to, uh, Russell dilate as

• 05:10 - 05:13

  Well, so you're gonna have that watery eyes or that

• 05:13 - 05:14

  tearing up s.

• 05:15 - 05:18

  So this is why we take into histamines to counteract

• 05:19 - 05:23

  that histamine, the stomach, a mediator's that are just so

• 05:23 - 05:28

  annoying when we have allergies so moderate to severe flushing

• 05:29 - 05:32

  a readiness of the face swelling of the face, eyes

• 05:32 - 05:36

  or throat, difficulty breathing and or swallowing ways ing and

• 05:37 - 05:40

  coughing. This could all lead to trust his comfort and

• 05:40 - 05:43

  or pain, and that can only lead to disaster Lightheadedness.

• 05:44 - 05:47

  So all these ones that I just basically listed this

• 05:48 - 05:50

  is kind of the ones that are most concerning when

• 05:50 - 05:55

  people have a modern sense of year, uh, allergy, because

• 05:55 - 05:58

  all this is impacting your ability to get air inter

• 05:58 - 06:00

  body if we can't get air into our body ourselves,

• 06:01 - 06:04

  can't produce in function without that oxygen.

• 06:05 - 06:08

  So that's why allergies can be life threatening.

• 06:10 - 06:13

  You can also have abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting and

• 06:13 - 06:16

  diarrhea. Then, if you think back to the bacterial infection,

• 06:16 - 06:18

  all of those are ways that we're trying to get

• 06:19 - 06:20

  whatever it is out of our body.

• 06:21 - 06:24

  So all of these combined is your body trying to

• 06:24 - 06:27

  fight off this allergen, which it thinks is going to

• 06:27 - 06:29

  be something that could possibly kill you.

• 06:30 - 06:31

  Uh, when?

• 06:31 - 06:35

  In reality, not harmful at all.

• 06:38 - 06:41

  So the most severe form, as we call and flax

• 06:41 - 06:42

  is or an if lactic shock.

• 06:43 - 06:47

  Um, so this is when the explosion halogen can cause

• 06:47 - 06:52

  immediate swelling to counter act that swelling more specifically of

• 06:52 - 06:53

  that respiratory passageway.

• 06:54 - 06:57

  We have what's called f defense at the friends at

• 06:57 - 07:01

  Winifred. Hopefully, lads ringing a bell with that norepinephrine is

• 07:02 - 07:02

  that adrenaline?

• 07:03 - 07:03

  So bye.

• 07:05 - 07:07

  Putting the adrenaline into our body, you were kind of

• 07:07 - 07:10

  counter acting, that swelling that is happening.

• 07:12 - 07:14

  Uh, and hopefully that it goes down.

• 07:14 - 07:16

  So someone is having a severe reaction.

• 07:17 - 07:18

  Or can it?

• 07:18 - 07:18

  Galactic shock.

• 07:19 - 07:22

  They should know that they need their EpiPen, and they

• 07:22 - 07:25

  should make you aware people around them that they have

• 07:25 - 07:25

  their f depends.

• 07:26 - 07:27

  So if you are first, have an EpiPen by doctor.

• 07:28 - 07:30

  Please make sure that you have it on your person

• 07:30 - 07:31

  at all times.

• 07:32 - 07:33

  You'll never know when you're a boy.

• 07:33 - 07:33

  Do you need it?

• 07:34 - 07:35

  Yeah. Huh?

• 07:37 - 07:39

  People that have these severe type of allergies as well

• 07:40 - 07:42

  should wear medical alert bracelets on.

• 07:42 - 07:45

  So if the first responder does get on the scene.

• 07:45 - 07:48

  Someone is having enough lactic shock they can understand.

• 07:48 - 07:50

  What is happening is also a board.

• 07:50 - 07:55

  If you have any allergies to medication, because if you

• 07:55 - 07:57

  are unconscious at the scene, you can't say yes.

• 07:57 - 07:59

  I am allergic to penicillin and you have a gash

• 08:00 - 08:01

  and they start a broadband of antibiotics.

• 08:02 - 08:06

  Yes, listen, the broadband of antibiotics, that's penicillin, okay?

• 08:06 - 08:08

  And it will cause a reaction as well.

• 08:08 - 08:12

  So those two things extremely important for people that house

• 08:12 - 08:14

  of your allergies is that epi pen and a medical

• 08:15 - 08:15

  alert bracelet.

• 08:17 - 08:18

  Well, don't know if you get him a job parking

• 08:18 - 08:22

  the background, but he agrees, So treatments.

• 08:23 - 08:24

  There is no cure for allergies.

• 08:26 - 08:26

  Okay, there's just treatments.

• 08:27 - 08:31

  However, It has been noted that sometimes major hormonal changes

• 08:31 - 08:35

  can alter or change reaction to allergies, though, for example,

• 08:35 - 08:39

  somebody who is pregnant when you're pregnant you're having a

• 08:39 - 08:40

  major hormonal change or surge.

• 08:41 - 08:43

  This guy actually alter a change.

• 08:43 - 08:48

  Higher immune response reacts to different things, uh, during the

• 08:48 - 08:49

  pregnancy union after the pregnancy.

• 08:52 - 08:53

  So what can we do?

• 08:54 - 08:56

  Well, first, inform us we have anti histamine.

• 08:56 - 08:59

  Anti histamines are usually the first things that doctors recommend

• 08:59 - 09:00

  that you try.

• 09:01 - 09:03

  If you are suffering from allergies again, what this does

• 09:04 - 09:06

  it blocks the histamine from sending out the signal to

• 09:06 - 09:08

  the immune system to reaction Allergy.

• 09:08 - 09:11

  Good. Usually it takes about 30 minutes for to become

• 09:12 - 09:14

  effective if you take it in pill or liquid form.

• 09:15 - 09:18

  This can change if you take nasal sprays because the

• 09:18 - 09:21

  spray is being directly into the respiratory system, where we

• 09:21 - 09:24

  have kind of a sinner remembering in the respiratory system.

• 09:24 - 09:27

  It could be absorbed faster into the body and react

• 09:28 - 09:31

  faster. Usually, people are okay.

• 09:31 - 09:33

  Was taking over the counter anti histamines.

• 09:34 - 09:35

  You guys all heard of, um, Sartet?

• 09:36 - 09:40

  Okay, um, why am I blanking on him?

• 09:40 - 09:41

  Some allergy meds.

• 09:41 - 09:42

  But, sir, check.

• 09:42 - 09:42

  Do you?

• 09:42 - 09:45

  So I usually take That's why I remember that went

• 09:45 - 09:46

  off without my head.

• 09:47 - 09:52

  Um, however, if you have severe, not severe, so more

• 09:52 - 09:56

  along that more moderate kind of allergies in your noticing

• 09:56 - 09:59

  that the kind of prescription anti histamines aren't working that

• 09:59 - 10:02

  great, they also have a prescription strength.

• 10:04 - 10:06

  It's the histamines that the doctor could prescribe to you

• 10:06 - 10:09

  a lot of the times to the prescribed inhalers for

• 10:09 - 10:10

  people with asthma.

• 10:11 - 10:13

  Um I have a cold seasonal as models on a

• 10:13 - 10:14

  sports asthma.

• 10:15 - 10:19

  So in the spring, I have lovely asthma that I

• 10:19 - 10:20

  have to contend with.

• 10:20 - 10:22

  So I have my own inhalers, that I have to

• 10:22 - 10:24

  take out an emergency inhaler and that I have the

• 10:25 - 10:26

  one that I take daily one morning.

• 10:26 - 10:27

  What's that I have?

• 10:28 - 10:32

  It just basically helps to counteract any allergies that can

• 10:32 - 10:35

  get into the respiratory system and irritated and cause that

• 10:35 - 10:35

  immune reaction.

• 10:39 - 10:40

  So allergy shots?

• 10:41 - 10:43

  Not sure anyone who ever heard of these or how

• 10:43 - 10:46

  many of you guys have but allergy shots also knows

• 10:46 - 10:49

  immunotherapy. These air on Lee recommended to people that have

• 10:49 - 10:51

  that more moderate to severe.

• 10:52 - 10:55

  We action to an allergen, and they cannot avoid the

• 10:55 - 10:57

  allergen in their everyday lacks.

• 10:57 - 11:00

  So, for example, my mom used to be really allergic

• 11:00 - 11:02

  to cat dander and dog dander.

• 11:03 - 11:07

  So we have a dog so she couldn't avoid the

• 11:07 - 11:09

  dark so she would have to go in and she

• 11:10 - 11:10

  would get these allergy shots.

• 11:11 - 11:14

  So what it is is it is a small dose

• 11:14 - 11:18

  of the allergen, and it's injected into the person.

• 11:18 - 11:19

  It's kind of like a vaccine.

• 11:20 - 11:22

  What we're trying to do is we're trying to desensitize

• 11:24 - 11:25

  the immune system to the allergies.

• 11:26 - 11:28

  Were trying to show the immune system that Hey, this

• 11:28 - 11:29

  isn't a bad thing.

• 11:30 - 11:31

  It's is Okay, Okay.

• 11:31 - 11:32

  You can chill.

• 11:32 - 11:33

  It's all good.

• 11:33 - 11:34

  It's not gonna kill us.

• 11:35 - 11:37

  Okay, so this usually happens.

• 11:38 - 11:41

  Um, after you get your first child, you'll wait about

• 11:41 - 11:43

  half an hour to make sure that no more smear

• 11:43 - 11:44

  reactions occur.

• 11:45 - 11:46

  Hey, this typically happens.

• 11:47 - 11:50

  Wanted two times a week for the first several months.

• 11:50 - 11:53

  After that, slowly enough allergy and will be increased.

• 11:54 - 11:56

  And slowly amount of times that you go to the

• 11:56 - 11:57

  doctor will diminish.

• 11:58 - 11:59

  So this is a lifelong process.

• 12:00 - 12:02

  And again, it is on Lee recommended.

• 12:02 - 12:05

  For people who cannot avoid the allergen in their everyday

• 12:05 - 12:07

  lack, you're probably thinking, Well, how do you even know

• 12:07 - 12:08

  you're allergic to something?

• 12:09 - 12:11

  So when you go in, they make a great on

• 12:11 - 12:11

  her back.

• 12:12 - 12:14

  Think about like a big tic tac toe board game

• 12:14 - 12:16

  with lots of squirts, okay?

• 12:17 - 12:19

  And they actually take bits of the allergen and test

• 12:19 - 12:21

  it on your skin to see what you react to

• 12:22 - 12:23

  and how severe your reaction is.

• 12:25 - 12:29

  So allergies kind of summed up real quick, so they

• 12:29 - 12:29

  got four questions.

• 12:30 - 12:31

  The hands are at the end of your notes.

• 12:31 - 12:34

  Is there a cure for allergies for a mild case?

• 12:35 - 12:36

  What is the treatment for?

• 12:36 - 12:36

  Severe case?

• 12:37 - 12:39

  Some year I forgot me at the end of severe.

• 12:40 - 12:42

  I've told us for severe Gaius luxury.

• 12:43 - 12:45

  What options do we have and what is the most

• 12:45 - 12:47

  severe again to the east?

• 12:47 - 12:47

  I'm sorry.

• 12:47 - 12:48

  As must be used today.

• 12:49 - 12:51

  Form of an allergic reaction.

• 12:51 - 12:53

  So again, just against these at the bottom of your

• 12:54 - 12:56

  note, they think about these questions.

• 12:57 - 12:59

  The questions that I do post on these lectures are

• 12:59 - 13:00

  for points.

• 13:01 - 13:03

  Okay, so when we do get back together, these questions

• 13:04 - 13:06

  might be very important for us to go back and

• 13:07 - 13:08

  make sure that you understand that.

• 13:10 - 13:11

  All right, you guys have any questions from sensors?

• 13:12 - 13:14

  Feel free to email me, pose to calm and cool

• 13:14 - 13:17

  classroom. Whatever we need to dio from.

• 13:18 - 13:23

  You're not hope Everyone saying healthy, saying saying Do something

• 13:23 - 13:25

  fun. Do something interesting, man.

• 13:26 - 13:27

  I will see you guys soon.

• 13:27 - 13:28

  Hopefully, I
