AB  - UNDERSTANDING ALLERGIES by Mary Steel explains eczema in childhood and later, ear and eye allergies, urticaria and angioedema, asthma and hay fever. Chapters are also devoted to allergies to insects, drugs and food. The book makes many helpful suggestions for alleviating symptoms and coping with the problems that allergy frequently brings, but emphasises when to seek medical advice.
