The Stats In the US: · Number of people in the U.S. who have either allergy or asthma symptoms: 1 in 5. · Percentage of the U.S. population that tests positive to one or more allergens: 55%. Internationally: The prevalence of asthma in different countries varies widely, but the disparity is narrowing due to rising prevalence in low and middle income countries and plateauing in high income countries.
Suffering from allergies can be a very irritating experience. If you or your child is suffering from allergies, it is best to take them to a Naturopathic Doctor who can perform a proper assessment and form a treatment plan that will address your/your child’s needs. Always speak to your health care provider before beginning any new medications or supplements. References: Allergy Statistics and Facts. WebMD. Reviewed by Johnson, K.
