What is an Allergy?
An allergy happens when your body’s defense system, called the immune system, overreacts to things that are usually harmless. These things, called allergens, can be found in pollen, dust, certain foods, medicines, insect stings, or pet fur.
When someone with an allergy encounters an allergen, their body fights it as if it’s dangerous. This reaction can cause different problems in the body, like sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, coughing, itching, swelling, or tummy issues.
Allergies can start at any time in your life. Some people have mild symptoms, while others have more serious reactions. In extreme cases, it can even be life-threatening.
