Understanding co-factors in allergic reactions… Allergy London’s Prof. @DrAdamFox shares key things to be mindful of on this topic…

Co-factors are external elements that can increase sensitivity to allergens or intensify allergic reactions.

Common co-factors include:

🦠Viral or other infections
👟Physical activity (exercise)
🍷Alcohol consumption
🥱Fatigue
🗓️Menstrual cycles

These factors can make allergic reactions more severe, even when exposed to smaller amounts of an allergen. For some, this may lead to #anaphylaxis, a serious and potentially life-threatening reaction. Those with asthma or a history of severe allergies are especially at risk.

Swipe for more, including what to do
if you experience an allergic reaction and you do not have immediate access to adrenaline e.g., EpiPen or Jext (to also include EURneffy from around late Sept in UK). (And why you should *avoid* running/exercise as this can worsen symptoms).

Follow Prof. Adam Fox on Instagram (dradamfox) for helpful advice and guidance on the topic children’s allergies.
