Don't tell him, but I've been kind of worried about the hubs lately. He's not himself, and you know men. He won't go to the doctor. So I thought I'd do some investigating to see what I could find.This book was really well arranged and informative. Did you know that diesel fumes from those eighteen-wheelers are a huge trigger? Yup, neither did I. But they are. And you can seriously be allergic to lanolin. That's the stuff that comes from sheep wool, if you didn't know. LANOLIN! Who knew?You should have seen my jaw fall into the toilet when I saw chocolate on the list of allergens. My hubs and I love chocolate like you wouldn't believe. Of course, he may not be allergic to it, but just the idea!Luckily, the book also offers a whole bunch of home remedies you can try to get rid of your symptoms, from ginger tea to essential oils. It's also got practical advice on lifestyle changes and things you can do around the house to keep from making it all worse. All in all, I thought it was a good overview, and now for the real challenge. To get the hubs to give it a read and see if we can get him feeling better.
