What Is Allergy?
Allergies occur when the body’s defences react strongly to a harmless substance like pollen, dust, food, a drug or a sting. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
Signs of Allergy to Look for
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
Common Triggers
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, certain foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and surroundings on holiday can reveal allergies you never knew about.
What to Know About Allergy in Bosphorus
Bosphorus ferry trips mean hours of sun and wind on deck, and sunburn and colds are the typical result. City air, dust, pollen and street food can all set off allergies. Carry antihistamines you have used before and check food ingredients.
Travel Guide to Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is the strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, lined with palaces, fortresses and wooden waterside mansions. Tourist tip: take a public ferry or private cruise past Dolmabahce, Ortakoy and Rumeli Fortress.
How to Lower Your Risk of Allergy
Avoid known triggers, read food labels, ask restaurants about ingredients and carry your regular allergy medicine when you travel.
How Allergy Is Treated
The physician asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at the rash or swelling on camera, advises on antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if suitable. Treatment can involve antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Move away from the trigger where you can
