How much do you know about allergies?
Allergies are among the most common ailments in the UK today with one in three adults developing an allergy at some time. Research is being carried out to try and explain why the number of people with allergies has increased so dramatically in recent years. Every year the numbers are increasing by five per cent with around half of the sufferers being children.

Allergies including asthma, eczema and hay fever account for numerous days of work and a large proportion of absences from school. For some, allergies may be little more than a mild source of irritation, but for others it can be much more serious - and sometimes even fatal.
