Publisher's Synopsis
Allergies are a common, and frequently misinterpreted, immune system reaction to substances known as allergens. Some people have an overly strong immune response to these substances, but many others can tolerate them without any problems. There are many symptoms that can result from this hypersensitivity, ranging from minor irritation to severe, potentially fatal reactions.
Pollen, some foods, insect venom, animal dander, medications, and more can all contain allergens. Allergy sufferers experience symptoms like sneezing, itching, swelling, and in extreme situations, anaphylaxis, when their particular allergen is encountered by the immune system, which responds by releasing chemicals called histamines.
It's critical for people dealing with allergic reactions to comprehend allergies, their triggers, and practical management techniques. For efficient management and an enhanced quality of life, every type of allergy from food allergies to seasonal allergies requires specific insights and strategies.
