I'm dealing with allergies to brinjal and tamarind, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Every time I eat them, I end up with rashes and itching. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent these reactions?

I've been dealing with this really annoying irritation in my nose every morning for about a year now. It's like I keep sneezing until I eat breakfast. And, if its cold outside, this goes on for a couple of days. I just found out last night from my blood test that I have Eosinophilia. Its got me a bit concerned. How bad does it seem from the report? Also, are there certain foods I should steer clear of? And would you recommend any home remedies that might help?

Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient sos for allergy...7ml twice daily in both the nostrils is advised to the pt..Avoid allergens, moist weather etc.

I've been hearing some chatter about whether swallowing semen over several months might bring on asthma, and I'm pretty curious if there's any truth to that. Can you shed some light on whether there's any connection?

It may cause allergic reactions.
