My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.

Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?
