(HealthDay News) -- To prevent allergic reactions -- from latex to pollen -- having an allergy management plan is essential, says the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
The AAFA asks people to:
Avoid contact with allergens.
Take medicines as prescribed.
Keep epinephrine with you if you are at risk for anaphylaxis.
Keep a diary to track what causes or worsens symptoms.
If you or a loved one has a severe allergic reaction, call 911 immediately.
