A member asked:
Allergic to fluorescent lights, is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Allergies occur when the body is exposed, usually, to proteins and they have to be of a certain molecular weight to trigger the production of allergic antibodies. Radiation such as sunshine or fluorescent lights cannot trigger an allergic reaction.
