Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra are good for everyday use.
Benadryl is my holy grail. It honestly gets rid of allergic reactions in ten minutes for me.

Good luck! (:

Benadryl I think works wonderful but it makes you drowsy. Claritin works for 24 hours and that is non drowsy.

Comment on What asthma medicine can I take without nasty side effects? by Dylan Pointon ™

Salbutamol (ventolin). Its only Real side affect is Short runs of tachycardia that last less than half an hour. I use it for my allergy to dust mites. But of course this will have to be prescribed by your Physician this is just my opinion

The only way that really works is when the allergist does it through shots. They start out with a very tiny fraction of the substance such as one part per ten million.

Don’t they give you a little bit of the flu when administering a flu shot ? Which quite a few people swear they get the flu from the shot.But i would never expose myself to anything at anytime that would get me sick or hives. It may take thousands of years as was stated in my poison ivy question,to develop an immunity,of course that would be grandchildren to the 12′th

You should NEVER expose your self to a possible allergy, you should consult a allergist for testing and if the doctor see’s fit maybe skin before immunology,
i have had allergy shots before and i had a bad case of anaphlaxix, (sever allergic reaction) but everybody’s different,
try talking to a allergist and see what your choices are.
Good luck and be safe!

Your grandmother is right in theory. That is how allergy shots work. I do not recommend, however, exposing yourself to thing you are allergic to own your own.

Food allergies are an exteme no no! If you are allergic to it, you always will be. I have also heard this theory, and I am allergic to cats, although I have gotten worse as I’ve aged. There is medical procedures to eventually phase out the allergy, my creating anti bodies but you should consult your doctor first.
