Not only do such situations bring the familar wheezing and coughing of an asthmatic, they frequently produce nasal con- gestion and redness as well.

In some Instances, skin tests indicate a patient may be aller- gic to milk. Then, after know- ingly drinking the liquid, this person reacts accordingly, with nauseo and abdominal dis- comfort,
