A Little About Allergies
An allergy is a result of hypersensitivity of the immune system. An Allergic reaction occurs when the immune system reacts to substances in the environment that are normally harmless. Triggers, as well as symptoms, are different for every individual. These reactions are acquired, predictable, and rapid. In individuals with Asthma and other respiratory conditions, allergies can play a major role.
