1. Allergens Lab#1

2. Definition of allergens:

3. - The histamine then acts on a person's eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or gastrointestinal tract and causes the symptoms of the allergic reaction. mechanism of allergic reaction:

4. Why Do People Get Allergies? Several factors must be present for allergic sensitivity to be developed: The specific genes acquired from parents 1) 2)The exposure to one or more allergens to which you have a genetically programmed response The degree and length of exposure 3)

5. These allergens can get into our body in several ways: 1)Inhaled into the nose and the lungs: 2)Ingested by mouth: 3)Injected: 4)Absorbed through the skin:

7. Rashes caused by an allergic reaction to plant direct contact with the plant in direct contact with the plant Touching something that touched the plant contact with airborne plant particle inhlationContact with the skin Pollen grain

8. plants can cause allergy by different ways, one of them by producing pollen grains:

9. -Most respiratory-related allergies are caused by pollens - pollen grain consist of a wall of two membranes, *outer (thick) called EXINE *iner ( delicate cellulosic) called INTINE Male plants are the most problematic Female plants,

10. uses these balls to illustrate the difference between more problematic pollens and less irritating ones.

26. Prevention method for plants allergens  Use caution with unknown plants.  Wear gloves when gardening or performing other activities with plants. Wear gloves when handling unknown plants

27. Prevention method for plants allergens Cont.  Do not burn potentially poisonous plants or plant parts. Some poisonous plants may cause severe allergic reactions if the plants are burned and the particles are breathed into the airways.  If you're allergic to pollen, keep windows closed when pollen season's at its peak, change your clothing after being outdoors.

28. Treatment method for plants allergens  Following exposure, wash skin thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible.  Keep cool by applying cold compresses to the skin or taking cool showers. Body heat and sweating can aggravate itching.

29. Treatment method for plants allergens  Use of some over-the-counter medications (such as calamine lotion or antihistamines) can help reduce symptoms.  Antihistamines. Medications that block the effects of histamines (chemicals released during an allergic reaction that produce symptoms such as running nose and sneezing). Cont.

30. Treatment method for plants allergens  Antibiotics. May be prescribed for severe rashes that have become infected.  Corticosteroids. Anti-inflammatory medications similar to the hormones produced by the body that help reduce swelling, redness and itching. For plant rashes, creams or ointments are applied to the affected area(s). Very severe rashes may require injected or oral corticosteroids. Cont.
