Allergy
Allergies happen when your body's immune system reacts to a food or substance
that typically doesn't elicit a reaction in most individuals, such as pollen, bee venom, or pet exfoliants.
Antibodies are chemicals that your immune system creates. When you have allergies, your immune system produces antibodies that mistakenly label a certain allergen as dangerous when it is not. Your digestive system, skin, sinuses, or airways may become inflamed as a result of your immune system's reaction once you come into touch with the allergen.
​
Individual differences in allergy severity mean that it can range from a simple annoyance to a potentially fatal emergency called anaphylaxis. Although most allergies are incurable, there are therapies that can lessen your allergy symptoms.
Symptoms
Depending on the chemical, allergy symptoms can have a different influence on your health. Can have an impact on your skin, digestive system, sinuses, and airways. Acute to mild allergic responses are possible. In extremely extreme circumstances, allergies can result in an allergic reaction that is potentially fatal known as anaphylaxis.
