Allergies occur when the body's immune system overreacts to otherwise harmless substances called allergens. The body's immune system mistakenly recognizes these substances as a threat and triggers a defensive response.
Most allergies develop when a person is first exposed to a potential allergen. When this happens, the immune system produces specific antibodies to fight the suspected invader. When you come into contact with the allergen again, these antibodies are activated and trigger a reaction.
The symptoms of an allergic reaction can be varied, ranging from mild symptoms, such as itchy eyes and stuffy nose, to severe, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylactic shock.
Allergens can be diverse, for example pollen, animal dander, food or medicines. The exact causes for the development of allergies are not yet fully understood, but genetic factors seem to play a role. Environmental factors such as air pollution and dietary habits can also increase the risk of an allergy.
