What To Do For Allergy Due To Tobacco?
My Father in law lives in our home. He dips tobacco (chews). He is increasing his use in our house and I am finding that I am having allergic reactions. I have know or thought that I was allergic to cigarette smoke. Now I am wondering if it is the tobacco itself. It occurs when I clean his room and is now getting to be when I go down the hall way. I did not think that the smokeless tobacco would affect someone that way.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible to develop an allergic reaction to almost anything, the potential is there.
The optimal treatment for allergies would be reduce or eliminate contact with the allergen.
If this is not possible then you would need consider the use of oral anti histamines to reduce your response.
These are available over the counter.
I hope this helps
