Cold allergy: on hands

Hands are one of the least protected parts of the body. It is they who transfer bacteria to themselves, and also get hit first.

• is hereditary.

The slow metabolism, which occurred in a low temperature, provokes the production of histamine. He is the cause of the allergy, the culprit of redness, skin peeling, and other characteristic symptoms.

Hereditary allergy, as a rule, manifests itself from the very childhood. It is characterized not only by the usual symptoms, which are lower, but also more severe:

• low pressure in the cold;
• is a pre-occlusive, shock state in a low temperature environment.

The prevalence of the location of the consequences of an illness is due to the fact that the hands are practically not protected by humans. Many neglect elementary rules while walking in the cold, forgetting to wear gloves. As a result, the skin is exposed to negative influences, being in extreme conditions. Some manage to take snow in their hands, take photos, and all this - in the cold. In addition, the limbs are constantly lowered - the outflow of blood is difficult.
