The Allergy group discusses all types of human allergies - how allergies influence our health and lifestyles, treatments for allergies from the consumer perspective and experience, self-help prevention of allergy symptoms, allergy self-care, and support systems. Families and friends of the allergic are also welcome!

Related topics also include hives, sinusitis, asthma, itches, eczema, rashes, sinus, nasal and respiratory difficulties, mastocytosis, etc. These topics are fair game, especially as they relate to people dealing with allergies in their everyday lives.

Join Allergy For Free On-Topic E-mail

The Allergy mailing list is an open, semi-moderated, free LISTSERV discussion list. The Allergy mailing list is seeking additional sponsors, and will accept pre-approved commercial announcements *strictly* related to allergies. Only the Allergy list "owner" may post commercial advertisements on the Allergy mailing list. All commercial announcements must be screened and approved in advance by the list owner at relevance@Immune.Com.

Allergy Welcome Message Always Available

To learn more about the Allergy online discussion group, anyone can request a current/fresh copy of the Allergy membership guidelines and Allergy rules at any time because the Allergy clerical robot will send it by e-mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To obtain the Allergy Welcome message, send (in the text/body of your e-mail message):

Get Allergy Welcome

LISTSERV@listserv.uark.edu

In keeping with the ancient Internet idea that each person must have 100% control over their own e-mail "IN BOX," and to reduce everyday wear and tear on the Allergy manager, Allergy expects each member to turn their own account on and off for vacations, etc.

Please read and follow the rules and guidelines in the Allergy Welcome message. Every Allergy member is 100% responsible for managing their own Allergy account, so every Allergy member soon learns to deal with our simple, clerical robot (available 24 hours, seven days a week). There is also a 24 hour Web page for managing your own account:

Allergy Accepts Plain Text (ASCII) E-mail Only

The Allergy mailing list is made up of a diverse worldwide group of people with various computers and mail programs. For some Allergy members, when a message contains formatted text, their e-mail program presents them with a blank message because the e-mail program is unable to translate the formatting. In other cases, the mail program does the best that it can and provides a "translation" of sorts with all the control characters and formatting commands spelled out (sometimes in broken English and sometimes not) - very messy and hard to read.
