An allergy is an immune system reaction to things that do not affect most people. Allergy sufferers frequently have many sensitivities. The following substances frequently induce reactions:
- Pollen
- House dust mites
- Spores of mold
- Hairballs from pets
- Food
- Stings from insects
- Medicines
Your immune system normally fights pathogens. It is the body’s protection mechanism. However, in the majority of allergic reactions, it is reacting to a false alarm. Both genes and environment are likely to play an impact.
Allergies can produce a wide range of symptoms, including sneezing, runny nose, itching, swelling, rashes, and asthma. Minor to severe allergies is possible.
