Mast Cell Treatment Poll

 

1-mast-cells

 

This was a poll that was conducted in the Mold Avoiders Facebook group in January 2017.

Following are the question and the responses from the group.

If you have had mast cell issues and believe that you have had any success in treating them, please list the things that seem to have been helpful to you in this poll. Please be as specific as possible in listing what has helped (e.g. name of specific drug rather than “antihistamines”). Please feel free to add items to this poll. Please mark items that appear to have been at all helpful for you, even if the amount was not all that great.
