When Should You Go to Urgent Care vs ER?

If you have a medical issue that is not a life-threatening emergency, you should go to an urgent care clinic rather than an emergency room! There are a couple of key reasons for this. First, the services rendered at urgent care clinics are far cheaper than those in emergency rooms across the board. If you have health insurance, the cost of an urgent care clinic visit averages out to around $50 to $150. However, visits to emergency rooms typically cost anywhere from $150 at the lowest to upwards of $3,000!

What Triggers Allergies?

Just like we as humans are unique, our allergy triggers are unique to each individual. People who suffer from allergies will have different allergens that cause their immune system to have an allergic reaction and each person's allergic reaction will be different. Allergies can be triggered by food ingested through the mouth, in extreme cases even food that touches bare skin can cause an allergic reaction. Allergies can also be triggered by allergens coming into contact with exposed skin, allergens in the air that we breathe, or through insect bites.
