Christmas time. You have to love Christmas time. Whether young or old we are entranced by the lights, the ornaments, the garland, the smell of a Christmas Tree. Well not everybody. Those with allergies will tell you just because it is winter does not mean their allergies go away. Imagine this…YOU could be allergic to your Christmas Tree! Probably doubly if you have live Christmas wreaths around as well.  Remember you want a memorable Christmas..yes I know being in the ER at Christmas will be a day you will not forget, but I think you want a better memory than that. Today we are going to talk with an allergy specialist and a registered nurse about allergies. She is also the author of a great book entitled “On The Streets: Memoirs of a Chicago Home Health Nurse.” Her stories are fascinating, terrifying, unbelievable and even heartwarming.  Please welcome to Your Life Matters Gina Phelps.
