Any idea for Allergic dosage? (Jernigan Nutraceuticals)

So I was curious about their products and ordered the "Test Kit" it wasn't what I thought but now I have it. My husband suffers from allergies and I thought he should try the Allermac, but I can't find a dosage. Everything says "two droppersful" but since that is not an actual unit of measure and there are no droppers, I was wondering if anyone knew what the number of drops are for a standard measuring dropper (like the kind used for science experiments).

Thanks,
Kim

A general dose of one dropper full is usually either 20 or 30 drops, depending on the size of the bottle and dropper. I would suggest that your hubby start on a lower dose just in case there is a reaction though. Caution is the best way to move forward with herbs too.

You can also call Hansa or have a chat with them online to ask more questions.

Thanks. I had't thought to call them. My brain left the building a while ago and I've been running on fumes.

If we can find something that will actually treat the allergies it would be really helpful. We know that there is something in the house that triggers the allergy symptoms. Of course there is the dog and if he pets her and then touches his face it's game over. Even her saliva triggers a reaction.

But I think there is something in the carpets because his office is the place he most often has problems in and that is one of the carpeted areas on the first floor. I don't think it is dog hair or dander because he doesn't have as much trouble on the second floor where are bedroom is and the dog does sneak upstairs sometimes (actually pretty often).

My husband doesn't have as much trouble when he travels for work. He was thinking of going for allergy shots but you have to go every week for some period of time and with his travel for work he would be unable to make all the appointments.

So if we can find something that actually works it would be a great help. None of the medications that are prescribed to treat the symptoms work at all. It also doesn't help that we live in the south and there is an extended growing season and multiple plants that release pollen.

Thanks, Kim

That's a good question. How do you tell if it's mold issues? I haven't got that far yet for myself.

It's definitely worse during pollen season, although we get some periods where you know it pollen season because everything is covered in yellow dust and now that I think about it I'm not sure it really makes much different.

We talked about having him tested and starting to get allergy shots (which he did as a kid), but haven't gotten far on that. He travels so much that making appointments is next to impossible. He works from home, but travels to CA because the company is head quartered there. They also have plants in NY, VT and China that he has to visit. Customers are all over the world. But his office downstairs is where he has the most trouble with allergies.

We have a basement which is unusual in NC because of the water table. To have a basement your property has to slope enough for it to be a walkout. One wall is all under ground, another is all open and the two sides slope downward (so are half underground). In New England where the basements are common and all underground, mold is common. I don't think mold is common with walkouts because the moisture doesn't get trapped.

I've read posts about testing for mold. It seemed as if they were talking about getting themselves tested. I know that there are test kits you can use to test for it in the house, but I know that they don't cover everything.

So any information you can point me at would be helpful. Otherwise, we may end up pulling up all the carpeting and replacing it with flooring. It'll be really expensive and may not change anything.

Thanks,
Kim
