allergy symptoms made my job problematic 

Welcome

Welcome to the Today's Allergies website, designed to give patients and doctors information on today's allergies including newer and more aggressive allergens contributing to the rise of allergic disease in the modern world.

Allergies worldwide are on the rise. Indoor and outdoor pollution, new substances, improved hygienic conditions, and stressful lifestyles are all playing a role in the surge in allergies. Wherever we live, we may be allergic to a range of substances and products. As our lives have become more complex, so have our allergies.

Allergies are often under-diagnosed, misunderstood and under-treated. If you suspect you have allergy symptoms, you should seek advice from your doctor.

To help quantify how much modern or indoor living may be to blame for this steep rise, we would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill in our online survey. This survey will be conducted in five languages and aims to provide us with valuable information on today's allergies. You can take part anonymously, but if you leave your personal details, we will inform you of the results when the survey is complete. Click here to take the survey.
