Allergies are a seemingly common condition that most everyone gets used to in their life once discovered. However, the causes of allergies are not common knowledge. Allergies are our body?s immune system reacting to a harmless substance more aggressively than it should. When someone starts sneezing, coughing, or develops a rash, it is called an allergic reaction. And the substance or the foreign particles, like dust, or pollen are the allergens. Allergies are known to be non-life-threatening, and the reaction subsides after some time on its own. However, not knowing what you are allergic to or the severity by which your immune system produces antibodies, i.e., immunoglobulin E (IgE), can be very dangerous.
