Pollen is the first thing that comes to our mind when we speak of allergies.
Another major type is pet allergies.
It is not often that we discuss chemical allergies as so common.
Nevertheless, these conditions are vastly becoming common as the technology improves in every field.
Think of an allergy to a chemical such as formaldehyde, or even towards an acrylic.
These were never considered so common before the advent of technology in various fields.
Most of the people with the sensitivity to dust or pollen undergo medical treatment.
There are people with pet allergies who totally get rid of pets to avoid allergy-related problems.
But think of the problems that you have to encounter if you are sensitive to a chemical substance that is present in many things that you use daily.
How would you treat such kind of sensitivity? Common examples would be dyes, nail paint, detergents and so on, which contain a chemical called Formaldehyde.
The sensitivity that happens as a result of this simple 'touch' is called Contact Dermatitis.
The name implies that this occurs when you touch something with a chemical that you are sensitive to.
A common example is chemical like acrylic.
Almost everything that we use daily contains acrylic.
Most of the wall paints contain acrylic.
There are trophies that are made of acrylic.
Even dental products such as crowns use acrylic as a component.
It is also found in certain types of tapes and glues.
In case of such contact dermatitis, your hands may need steroids to get alright.
It is not that other parts of the body will catch this allergy.
Even after your hands are alright, your feet might start cracking as a reaction to the acrylic that is used in the floor mats and carpets.
You may have to shed quite a big amount to completely get rid of this condition and also the surrounding that create such a medical condition.
You may have to relocate to a totally new surrounding and redo the entire house keeping in mind the cause of the said condition.
Even then, you should stay away from the pace until the work is absolutely over.
Or else, you may end up with an asthma attack while the painting or carpeting is going on.
Once your allergy is proven, then chances are that you will get the same problem wherever you go.
While people with sensitivities to dust and dander only have to stay away from such surroundings, imagine people with chemical allergies! How can someone possibly keep away from all substances that contain acrylic everyday? Some people with chemical allergies will have to adopt the go-green phenomenon and turn the house completely green.
This will include using hard wood floors and furniture.
Laminated flooring has acrylic in it.
Some people actually end up staying in a rented space until the renovation is complete, or else the sensitivity may reappear.
It is alarming that these types of chemical sensitivity are only increasing with technology.
