It is revealed that nearly 50 million Americans suffer with
allergies of different kinds. They experience adverse
reactions to normally harmless substances like dust, pollen,
food or mold. The immune system of the people having
allergies usually overreacts to these substances – known as
triggers. The people who are sensitive to triggers have the
high amount of substance called IgE in their blood. The body
reacts when the tiny bits like pollen granules trigger meet
up with IgE. The immune system fights of the foreign invader
which results in alergic symptoms like swelling, tearing,
congestion, sneezing and several other symptoms.
Different allergic conditions:
Allergic Rhinitis: Also known as hay fever, it is the
irritation of the nose where the inside of the nose gets
inflamed after being exposed to an alergic trigger.

inflammation of the airways obstructing to breath.

mostly appearing on the arms, legs, ankles or necks. Itching
