00:00You know, Doc, you and your colleagues,
00:02I'm sure a lot of us have experienced a feeling of nausea and vomiting, right?
00:10And we might think that it's just an ordinary vomiting or sneezing.
00:15But there's something called urticaria, right, Doc?
00:19You know, Connie, this urticaria is one of the allergic reactions
00:25that we see in a person, right?
00:29Urticaria is wide-spread,
00:32and if we don't treat it within a day or two,
00:38it will last for several weeks.
00:40And not only that,
00:41urticaria can also cause serious complications.
00:45It can even kill a person.
00:47So here it is, let's find out what this so-called urticaria is
00:52and how we can avoid it.
00:55No matter how hot the weather is,
00:5725-year-old Mary Lou is not allowed to sweat.
01:03Even if the air conditioner is cold, she still avoids it.
01:09Her skin has a lot of pimples when exposed to the sun.
01:14Her skin is very sensitive.
01:19I started working in 2015.
01:22I started working in 2015.
01:24I suddenly started vomiting.
01:26I thought it was just a cold.
01:28My allergy spread.
01:31It didn't just spread to my whole body,
01:35it spread to half of my body.
01:38The condition of her skin has a huge impact on her life.
01:44The weather was hot.
01:45My body was hot and I sweated.
01:47Wherever I went,
01:49even if the weather is not that cold,
01:52or the air conditioner is cold,
01:54it still spreads.
01:59If she was active and loved to dance,
02:01she can't do it anymore.
02:04Because of her illness,
02:07she sometimes lost consciousness
02:09and was taken to the hospital.
02:11I looked at the dark until I lost consciousness.
02:15When I woke up,
02:16there were a lot of germs on my hands.
02:20I was even oxygenated.
02:24It's not just the cold that she suffered from.
02:26Her vision became blurry
02:28and she had a hard time breathing.
02:35Irene is 30 years old.
02:37She experienced the same thing as Marie Lu.
02:40Irene is not allowed to sleep
02:42because she is allergic to germs
02:44and has a lot of skin on her body.
02:46When it started,
02:48it was on my hands.
02:49It was itchy and swollen.
02:53It spread to my skin
02:55on my temples,
02:56on my forehead,
02:57and on my face.
03:01She experienced this condition
03:02only in April this year.
03:04It can be a sign of Irene's weakness
03:07due to the high temperature and heat.
03:12If she is not allowed to eat,
03:15she will continue to suffer from it.
03:19So it's hard for Irene
03:21to avoid her loved ones
03:24when she needs to do so.
03:26I try to avoid
03:28spicy food,
03:30such as peanuts,
03:31tomatoes,
03:32and citrus fruits.
03:35I try to avoid
03:36food that is not allowed
03:38so that it won't trigger.
03:42Marie Lu and Irene experienced
03:44a similar condition
03:46called hives.
03:49It is also known as
03:51tagulabay.
03:54According to dermatologist
03:55and Pinoy MD co-host,
03:56Dr. Jean Marquez,
03:59skin reaction
04:00is caused by different triggers
04:02or sun hits.
04:03Hives are actually
04:05a reaction of the mask cell
04:07to produce histamine.
04:13When histamine
04:15degranulates,
04:17it will cause blood vessels to swell
04:20and blood will extravasate
04:23or penetrate the blood vessels
04:25to the skin.
04:27It will cause swelling.
04:29Hives are often caused
04:31by drinking medicine,
04:33hot or cold weather,
04:36stress,
04:37food,
04:38and other feelings.
04:41According to Dr. Jean,
04:43hives are divided into two
04:45depending on the symptoms.
04:47It is called acute hives
04:49or this is the hives
04:51that curse temporarily.
04:53Hives will last
04:55for more than six weeks.
04:57Then it is called
04:59chronic hives.
05:02There are some things
05:03that you can remember
05:04to know that
05:05hives are actually
05:06a reaction of the mask cell.
05:08Usually, hives
05:10have a sudden appearance.
05:12Sudden.
05:13It does not start
05:15with a smile
05:17and then it suddenly appears.
05:19You can see that
05:20there are suddenly
05:21spots.
05:23Urticaria can disappear
05:25spontaneously
05:27and it does not leave
05:29suddenly.
05:30Unlike other allergies
05:33like contact dermatitis,
05:35contact allergy,
05:36or skin itches,
05:38or the so-called
05:40sunburn,
05:41it can leave
05:43suddenly.
05:46There is a medicine
05:47that can be taken
05:48to reduce
05:49the frequency
05:50of allergic reactions.
05:52If you already have this,
05:54you will be given
05:55anti-histamine
05:57to fight
05:58the chemical histamine
05:59so that it will not
06:00burst.
06:01If it is too
06:03bad and you are also having a hard time,
06:05you do not respond
06:06and you will respond
06:07to an anti-histamine.
06:08Then you can be given
06:10a steroid.
06:14According to Dr. Jean,
06:15it is important to know
06:16and avoid triggers
06:17or sun hits
06:18so that the
06:19skin will not burst.
06:21Especially if this is
06:22related to
06:23everyday activities.
06:27You should see
06:28your doctor immediately
06:29because we want to avoid
06:31our airways
06:33that you are having a hard time with
06:35because that's a
06:36life-threatening situation.
06:39That's why Marilu and Irene
06:41don't just
06:42show off
06:43or show off.
06:44They just
06:45double-check
06:46their surroundings.
06:49Especially when their
06:50body's immune system
06:51suddenly attacks.
06:53Some of them
06:54last for years,
06:55some of them
06:56only last for days.
06:58For me,
06:59I hope
07:00it will end soon.
07:01Since I have not
07:02been working
07:03for a week
07:04and my skin is not
07:05getting better,
07:06I just go to the doctor
07:07one by one
07:08and it gets worse.
07:12I also avoid
07:14stress
07:15and sleep
07:16according to the time.
07:18I eat
07:19healthy foods.
07:24I also avoid
07:25the things
07:26I should avoid
07:27so that
07:28my skin
07:29doesn't get worse.
