The Complete Allergy Book: Learn to Become Actively Involved in Your Own Care

For that vast, wheezy population of allergy sufferers, immunology specialist and physician Frank K. Kwong offers hope in The Complete Allergy Book. He leads off with a history of allergy treatments, then explains how to recognize symptoms, identify allergens and control the home and work environments so that irritants are kept to a minimum. The book is divided by allergy type (pets, mold, air pollution, etc.), and Kwong surveys the medical remedies available for each allergy, emphasizing throughout the importance of choosing the right doctor. Kwong also covers special circumstances such as pregnancy, sports activities and travel. (May)
