Allergies

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance (allergen) that’s usually harmless to most people. These allergens can include pollen, dust mites, certain foods, pet dander, insect stings, or medications. For some, this reaction is mild, but for others, it can lead to severe symptoms requiring immediate medical attention.

Common Allergy Symptoms
Allergy symptoms can vary depending on the type of allergen and your body’s reaction. Some typical symptoms include:

• Respiratory Issues: Sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
• Skin Reactions: Rashes, hives, or swelling.
• Digestive Problems: Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
• Severe Reactions: In rare cases, an allergy can trigger anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition requiring emergency care.

Types of Allergies

• Seasonal Allergies: Commonly known as hay fever, caused by pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.
• Food Allergies: Reactions to foods like nuts, shellfish, eggs, or dairy.
• Skin Allergies: Includes conditions like eczema, contact dermatitis, and hives.
