What are the symptoms of allergies and how can you tell that they are suffering from allergy?
Well, when someone has an allergy it basically means they are hypersensitive to certain, usually harmless things, such as dust, foods or plants. Tens of millions of people suffer from allergies throughout the world. Symptoms of allergies can range from a runny nose and itchy eyes, to anaphylactic shock or death. Seen in its simplest form, an allergy is an over-reaction of the body’s immune system. In short, the body responds as though it’s under attack, releasing antibodies and triggering inflammation, even though the stimulus of the attack (the allergen) is normally harmless to the body.
