The expert go-to guide to understanding allergies

Allergies are one of the major causes of illness in developed countries and more and more of us are seeking treatment for them every year.

Allergies now affect about one in every three of the UK population and one in two of us think we suffer from them. We are more allergic than ever before, so why is the term 'allergy' still so misunderstood?

Understanding Allergy will be the practical go-to guide for equipping allergy sufferers and their families with the knowledge needed to help them navigate this minefield. With expert tips from a London-based allergy consultant, this book will be a whistle-stop tour from diagnosis, to treatment and lifestyle changes that will help you understand when, where and how to seek help.
