Allergies

Allergies are triggered by allergens (allergens) such as pollen, mold and animal dander. In the spring, typical allergens are pollens from grasses and trees. During other seasons, allergens commonly implicated include pet dander, dust mites found in house dust and mold.

People with allergies have an antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E) that causes an overreaction to allergens. Typical symptoms of allergy include sneezing, repetitive and prolonged congestion or runny nose, red eyes, swollen or watery eyes and throat irritation. Other common allergic reactions can affect the skin or intestines, such as hives, itching, rash, diarrhea and headaches.
