Alcohol Allergy

It is unknown how may people suffer from allergies to alcohol products because many of the normal symptoms associated with drinking alcohol are also associated with allergic reaction.  Redding of the skin on the face and neck, itchy eyes and nose, hives, loss of motor functions, vomiting, and eczema are typical reactions to the contents of wine and beer and also symptoms of allergic alcohol reactions.

If you truly have an Alcohol Allergy then you suffer from Allergies Type 1, also called Contact Allergies.  Doctor Vincent Crump of the Auckland Allergy Clinic suggests that it is more often than not, the other ingredients that cause the allergic reaction such as yeast and sulfur dioxide instead of the alcohol itself.

Creosote Exposure and Health Effects

Creosotes including coal tar, coal tar pitch or coal tar pitch volatiles has been deemed extremely hazardous to human health. Side effects include kidney or liver disease, convulsions, chemical burns, cancer - and in some instances scrotum cancer. Laboratory studies conducted on animals found that even the smallest levels of exposure to wood creosote caused death.

The severe nature of exposure to creosote has marked it, as well as similar chemical byproducts including coal tar, coal tar pitch and coal tar pitch volatiles, as a deadly carcinogenic that can cause an array of diseases anywhere from liver and kidney disease to throat and stomach pain, depending on the type of exposure.
