Florida’s Toxic Red Tide & The Health Problems It is Causing

World News- It started with a tickle in her throat. Then came the coughing, then the headaches.

When the symptoms began earlier this summer, Monet Sexaure, 40, who is four months pregnant, couldn’t understand what was causing them.

“I thought I was coming down with a cold,” she said. “But I never got a cold.”

Then Sexaure went for a walk on the beach and her headache flared up — and she thought she might have figured it out. Sexaure lives in Siesta Key, a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, Florida. That’s right in the path of the state’s toxic red tide.

The tide, a wave of microorganisms that choke sea life, hit the Gulf of Mexico last November and now spreads over about 130 miles of Florida’s southwest coast. Gov. Rick Scott has issued a state of emergency for seven counties, where waterways and coastlines are filled with putrid fish floating in brass-colored water.

The red tide also poses a health risk to people. The microorganisms emit brevetoxins, which can get blown into the air. When the toxins are breathed in, they constrict passages in the lungs, causing people to cough and have difficulty breathing.

Dr. Charles Klucka, an allergist with offices in Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, said he has seen 20 percent more patients with breathing difficulty this summer than in previous years, and he believes the red tide is to blame.

Klucka said he’s concerned about the lack of research on long-term exposure to brevetoxins. “For people that live exposed months and months, we don’t know the long-term effects,” he said.

Red tides seem to have increased in frequency and persistence over the last 20 years, though the historical record is too sketchy to say whether the events are really more prevalent. The current episode has lasted more than nine months, but it does not yet approach the 17-month red tide that beset South Florida from the end of 2004 until early 2006, or the red tide just a few years before that, which didn’t dissipate for an epic 21 months.

Dr. Donald Arents, a pulmonologist in Venice, Florida, also reported a 20 percent increase in patient visits that he believes is connected to red tide. His patients with lung diseases, like asthma, have particularly been affected, but they’re not alone.

“We’re seeing people come off the street, with no lung diseases, who have symptoms,” he said.

In the past week, the Florida Department of Health has seen an increase in emergency room visits for respiratory problems, mostly in children. But that increase is in line with one at the start of every school year, said Brad Dalton, a department spokesman.

The department is working “to identify possible cases of illness related to human exposures to algae toxins,” Dalton said. The department has not released any numbers and declined to provide a timeline for doing so.

The state’s two U.S. senators, Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, last week won Senate approval for $1 million in funding to study the health impacts of both the red tide and a toxic blue-green algae that has tainted rivers, canals and lakes in the south end of the state. The lawmakers said the money would identify health impacts “that may have been underreported and understudied in the past.”

For Sexaure, of Siesta Key, this year’s red tide is much worse than anything she’s experienced. She remembers getting a scratchy throat while walking on the beach during past red tides, “but nothing like this,” she said.

Unsure where to turn, she called Florida’s Poison Control Centers and was told to wash her clothes frequently, because the toxins can cling to fabric. Her obstetrician recommended Benadryl, but that doesn’t get rid of her cough and shortness of breath, and she’s worried about the long-term effects on her health and the baby girl she’s expecting in January.

In the meantime, she’s left her island home and is renting an Airbnb a mile inland, in Sarasota. She and her husband have started shopping for a new house. They’re looking away from Siesta Key, the coast and the red tide that just won’t seem to go away.

Patient Education Videos

Learn about allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions by watching these educational videos.

Allergy

Whenever your immune system detects a foreign substance as harmful, you become allergic. Such substances are allergens, and here an allergic reaction occurs. Foods, medication, pollen, and others are among the allergens.

There are many types of allergies, and they can present themselves in many different ways. Allergies can be seasonal or perennial. Some allergies may last a lifetime. Understand the nature of your allergy and how it manifests with our short video.

Start getting relief by checking in with an immunology and allergy specialist. Our allergy specialist can prescribe the proper management and medication to curb your symptoms through pediatric or adult allergy testing.

Asthma

Do you have a cough that just won't go away? Do you have trouble breathing? Do you hear whistling or wheezing as you breathe? All of these can indicate asthma.

All ages are affected by asthma, and its symptoms may range from mild to severe. They may occur every day or only infrequently. Asthma symptoms can be aggravated or set off by certain things, such as cold air, pollen, dust, or pets. We call these asthma triggers.

Keep asthma at bay. With the help of asthma and allergy specialists, life can be much more enjoyable and productive. Understand the basics of asthma and the various ways we can manage it in this video.

Respiratory

Each year, most adults and older children suffer from respiratory infections. There are numerous types of respiratory problems, from the common cold to pneumonia. These diseases can affect the upper respiratory system (nose, mouth, sinuses, and throat) or the lower respiratory system (bronchial tubes and lungs). Many may worsen into chronic diseases like COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease refers to an array of progressive lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

To successfully manage your respiratory disorder, it is crucial to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. Consult with the best allergist in Bradenton, FL, here at Allergy Affiliates!

Allergy Testing

Allergy testing reveals allergens that might cause allergies, such as mold, pet dander, bee stings, and peanuts. A healthcare provider injects allergens into your skin to see if you develop a wheal (raised mark), rash, or other reaction. IgE antibodies can be detected by blood tests. The findings may aid in the management of allergies.

What is skin testing?

Skin testing might help you figure out what's causing your symptoms. We can guarantee you that you have nothing to be concerned about. Skin testing is a painless, effective, and safe procedure. Scheduling an appointment with an allergist if you're experiencing symptoms that indicate you may have an allergy is one of the finest actions you can take toward controlling your allergies and reducing your symptoms.

What does skin allergy testing involve?

Skin allergy testing might help you figure out how sensitive you are to certain allergens. Based on a variety of factors, including your symptoms and information about the area where your symptoms occur, your provider will select particular allergens to test you for. Food, outdoor allergens, interior allergens, insects, and some drugs can all be tested with a skin allergy test..

What can I expect from skin allergy testing?

Skin testing, often known as a skin prick test, involves exposing you to allergens and checking for an allergic reaction. Children and adults are generally unaffected by skin tests. However, if you've ever had a serious or life-threatening reaction to a chemical, you should tell your doctor. This could suggest that even a small amount could be harmful.

Your doctor will prick your skin with a little number of different allergens and watch for a reaction during a skin allergy test. Up to 40 different drugs may be used by your physician. Your doctor will look for red raised bumps after pricking your skin with the probable allergens.

These pimples are a sign that your body is producing an antibody against the allergen in response to its presence. Keep in mind that skin tests aren't the only way to diagnose allergies. To confirm an allergy diagnosis, your provider will utilize your medical history, symptoms, and other information.

What are common allergens?

Environmental allergies are extremely common. Susceptible people are susceptible to allergies caused by:

Pollen

Dust mites

Pet dander

Mice

Cockroaches

Mold

Tree pollen

Grass pollen

Weed pollen

Mold

Cow’s milk

Eggs

Soy

Tree nuts

Wheat

Shellfish

Peanuts

Fish

Getting relief from allergies

Treating allergies begins with avoiding the irritating ingredient. The only way to know for sure what you're allergic to is to see a professional. If your doctor confirms a food allergy, it's critical to read labels and take care when dining out. Certain outdoor and indoor allergies cannot always be avoided. Reduce your exposure with the help of your doctor. Antihistamines and steroids are two medications that can aid with allergy symptoms.

You can also talk to your doctor about immunotherapy. This entails gradually increasing your exposure to the material to which you're allergic. This educates your immune system to tolerate the drug over time, resulting in long-term allergy relief.

It is possible to acquire allergy relief. Call our Florida office to arrange an appointment or use our handy online contact form to learn more about allergy testing and treatment at the Allergy Affiliates.

With traditional treatment for food allergies increasing costs without improving quality of life, those suffering from food allergies are calling for a more innovative approach -- oral immunotherapy.

Is Oral Immunotherapy a Cure for Food Allergies?

A food allergy is a reaction to a food that is trigger by your immune system. Food allergies, which affect up to 8% of children and 2-3% of adults in the United States, are a significant public health concern that is on the rise. Traditional food allergy therapy focuses on rigorous allergen avoidance and the constant carrying of emergency drugs like epinephrine. Oral Immunotherapy is a novel, cutting-edge treatment approach that is becoming more widely available.

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an experimental treatment in which food-allergic patients gradually increase their food intake to raise their allergic reaction threshold. This treatment comes with a high risk of allergic responses.

Oral immunotherapy is promising in treating food allergies, but not every patient—and not every physician—can take it on.

Food allergies have no cure, but oral immunotherapy can help patients live without fear of a severe allergic reaction. Following the procedure, approximately 50–80% of youngsters gain tolerance to a food substance that would otherwise have hampered their life. Oral immunotherapy will not work for every food allergy, so talking to an allergist about your options is crucial.

How to Cope Up with Dermatitis

Are you concerned about a red, itchy, and swollen patch of skin? You may have contact dermatitis. It may sound frightening, but dermatitis is simply a medical term for a rash or skin inflammation, and 'contact' signifies that chemical interaction produces the rash.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, there are two types of contact dermatitis: irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.

Treating Contact Dermatitis

Fortunately, most cases of contact dermatitis can be treated at home, and neither kind is contagious. Consider the following suggestions to help alleviate your rash's symptoms:

Using water and a light soap to wash the affected area

Using a 1% hydrocortisone cream purchased over the counter

Taking a chilly shower will help to relieve the burning and itching.

Taking a cool shower will help to ease the burning and itching.

Taking a bath in oatmeal is a great way to unwind (oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory and moisture-retaining properties)

Applying a cold compress to the area affected is a good idea.

Taking an antihistamine can help soothe your inflamed, itchy skin.

Alleviate your Contact Dermatitis

Having contact dermatitis is too troublesome to handle. Rashes along with it make it difficult to function in your job or to enjoy life. If you have an allergic reaction or rash that blisters or recurs, see an allergy specialist right away. 

 Worry no more! You can get the proper treatment with our best allergist Dr. Sabharwal at Allergy Affiliates Inc. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric and adult allergies. Moreover, she provides individualized treatment plans to ease allergy symptoms. Get in touch with Allergy Affiliates and schedule a consultation today.
