TYPES OF ALLERGIES THAT AFFECT THE HUMAN BODY IN THE HEAT AND HOW TO TREAT THEM

Abstract

This article investigates the various types of allergies exacerbated by heat exposure, focusing on their prevalence and impact on human health during warmer months. The research identifies and classifies specific heat-related allergies, such as heat urticaria, pollen allergies, and insect stings, which show increased incidence rates during elevated temperatures. The study analyzes data collected from multiple healthcare sources regarding the incidence of these allergies, accompanying symptoms, and the treatment efficacy of various strategies employed during heatwaves, revealing that antihistamines and preventive measures significantly alleviate symptoms in the majority of cases. The findings underscore the growing public health concern associated with climate change, which contributes to the frequency and severity of heatwaves, thereby amplifying the incidence of heat-related allergies. This research not only provides critical insights into the relationship between environmental factors and allergic responses, but also highlights the need for enhanced healthcare strategies tailored to manage these allergies effectively. The implications of this study extend to healthcare policies, suggesting a critical reevaluation of current allergy management practices and the necessity for public health initiatives that educate communities on recognition, prevention, and treatment of heat-exacerbated allergic reactions. Overall, this dissertation contributes to the understanding of the evolving health landscape in a warming climate and aims to inform future research and public health interventions.
