Most allergies are caused by common allergens like dust, mold, plant pollen, pet fur, insect bites or stings, some types of foods, and medications. Some people develop an allergic reaction when these allergens come in contact with the skin, get ingested, or enter the body through their nose or mouth. An allergy is the immune systems response to any such allergen in the body. An allergy can affect your whole body or a small area. Common allergy symptoms are rashes, hives, and swelling. Allergic reactions can vary from mild to severe and sometimes can also be life-threatening. Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. Allergists/Immunologists educate you about your condition and provide valuable tips regarding your diet and lifestyle to manage your symptoms.
