Thunderstorm allergy

Suddenly, the skin happen to feel itch.

So, I examined about that.

Inhaled allergic substance, asthma develop.

Skin is attacked, dermatitis develop.

Asthma and dermatitis are similar.

The literature suggests epidemic thunderstorm asthma occurs due to a complex interaction of patient and environmental factors. Patient factors include previous aeroallergen sensitization and a previous history of allergic rhinitis. Environmental factors include high concentrations of respirable aeroallergens in the atmosphere and thunderstorm outflow tracts that produce downdrafts containing these aeroallergens.
