Answer to Question 1

There are a number of primary prevention strategies for allergy and allergic asthma (one form of asthma). These include avoiding tobacco smoke, especially during pregnancy and early childhood and eliminating it from the work place; reducing indoor air pollution; minimizing exposure of at-risk young children to inhalant allergies like dust mites, cockroaches, and furry animals; preventing or eliminating exposure to highly irritating or sensitizing agents in occupational settings; minimizing exposure to damp housing conditions; and breastfeeding infants exclusively until the age of 4 to 6 months (breast milk may contain some protective factors).

Answer to Question 2

Atopic disorders like asthma are characterized by a biological hypersensitivity and inflammation. These mucosal inflammatory disorders are believed to be due to a dysregulation of the immune system whereby it over-responds to certain exogenous antigens. The atopic category includes asthma, allergic rhinitis (i.e., hay fever), atopic dermatitis (e.g., some forms of eczema), and conjunctivitis (e.g., allergy form of pink eye).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
