RECAP:
- Stay away from secondhand smoke.
- Histamines and sulfites are in wines, champagnes and beers. Opt for a cleaner liquor if you must drink.
- Egg whites are commonly found in mixed drinks as well as egg nog.
- Holiday cakes and cookies contain dried fruits, which may contain more sulfites as well as common allergy triggers like nuts, dairy, eggs and wheat.
Holiday parties can be and should be enjoyable. They will be even more enjoyable if you aren't reaching for your inhaler or feeling wheezy or sneezy and need to leave.
Be aware of your triggers and be safe during this holiday season.
