An allergy is an immune system reaction to a foreign substance that's not typically harmful to the body, known as an allergen. Common allergens include pollen, pet dander, certain foods, insect stings, medications, and dust mites. When an allergic reaction occurs, the immune system produces antibodies that identify the allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. This response can lead to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling, or more severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
Allergies can affect people of all ages and backgrounds and can develop at any stage of life. Diagnosis often involves skin tests, blood tests, or elimination diets, depending on the allergen in question. Management and treatment typically include avoiding known allergens, using medications like antihistamines or corticosteroids, and in some cases, undergoing immunotherapy to reduce sensitivity.
Living with allergies can be challenging, but with proper management and awareness, individuals can lead healthy, active lives. Education on the nature of allergies, recognizing symptoms, and knowing how to respond to severe reactions is crucial for effective control and prevention.
