Love at first sight is rare, depending on who you ask, but what about love at first sniff? Most of us have been influenced into thinking a prospective mate is more appealing by their scent, both artificial and natural. Mating is one of evolution’s vital mechanisms, so any intrinsic propensities we have for figuring out who is the best match certainly has a strong evolutionary basis.
Allergy triggers are substances in our environment that cause an allergic reaction. Though some of the symptoms overlap, an allergic reaction is a very specific event in your body and is different from an infection, intolerance, or poisoning.
Seasonal allergies affect up to 30% of the global population, making allergy symptoms extremely common among adults and children. A seasonal allergy develops when your immune system overreacts to something in your environment, whether it's burning bush in the fall or grass pollen in the spring.
The Fungus Kingdom contains a very wide variety of lifeforms just as diverse as plants, animals, or bacteria. We typically group fungi into three groups- invisible microscopic single-celled yeast, mold with invisible spores but obvious large colonies, and the species that produce the large fruiting bodies known as mushrooms.
Michael Rubino, the Mold Medic, doesn’t just know how to remediate mold, he’s a mold expert who has helped thousands of people with their indoor mold problems. During Mold Awareness Month, Molekule is partnering with Michael to spread the message that mold is serious but treatable and preventable.
How does a mold inspection work? When should you get a mold inspection? How much will mold inspection cost? We've got answers.
A study in 2016 showed that more than half of the world takes care of at least one pet, with dogs being the most popular, followed by cats and then fish. There are also millions of other animals we like to take care of, as you can see here. Taking care of animals comes along with housing, food, and watching their overall health, which includes inhaling particles that cause allergies, just like people. Let’s take a look at a few different pets to learn about their allergies.
Hi, my name is Dr. Kristamarie Collman also known as Dr. Kristamarie. I’m a Family Medicine physician, wellness enthusiast, and blogger based out of sunny Orlando, FL. In my practice, Prose Medical, I help treat people with allergies and also suffer from them too. Therefore, I thought it would be great to collaborate with Molekule Air to share a few ways we can reduce allergens in our homes.
Allergic reactions range from annoying to deadly. A significant amount of modern medical research has been devoted to not just understanding how the immune system fights off pathogens, but also why it goes awry creating allergic reactions. The most effective way to stave off an allergic reaction is to avoid exposure to allergy triggers altogether, but for many of us, exposure to allergens from pollen, pets and other common sources is unavoidable.
