Now, the discussion will center a little bit on Science. IgE antibodies are proteins produced by our immune system as our in built defense. These antibodies prevent unwelcome "invaders" that can make us sick from invading our bodies.
When an individual has allergy to numerous things, his or her immune system works in order to produce antibodies that counter the effects of these allergens. Sometimes, the immune system goes into overdrive and produces too much antibodies that it causes the release of histamines even if there are no actual allergens that come in contact with the person. These histamines can actually cause symptoms of sensitive reactions if these are let out in the bloodstream.
And the source for allergy could range from pollen, dust, pet dander, insect bites, animal fur, to spider venom. Well, you probably figured it out by now that the reason you can't stop getting the wheezes when your girlfriend's favorite pet is nearby is because you're allergic to its fur.
Allergies will have various signs, aside from the infamous constant sneezing. An individual's sensitive reaction can manifest in a way totally different from that of another's; it would largely be dependent on the type of allergen that triggers the sensitive reaction. One of the most common indicators of an sensitive reaction is the slight itching of the skin. Some would encounter hives or rashes. People with allergies should closely observe their symptoms, as allergies could cause someone to undergo anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening condition that induces the body into shock.
The following are some examples of reported allergic reactions to particular allergens and their general symptoms.
sensitive rhinitis (hay fever): A seasonal allergy that causes nasal congestion, runny and itchy nose, and watery eyes.
Food allergy: People who are sensitive to certain foodstuff may experience a tingling mouth; puffy face and lips; throat constriction; breakout of hives; and the possibility of anaphylaxis.
Drug allergy: The signs are hives; itching of the skin; swelling of the face; difficulty breathing; and anaphylaxis.
The best way to prevent allergic reactions is to prevent the causes of the allergy. Medications, such as antihistamines, can ease the indicators of allergic reactions. For sensitive reactions that do not respond to antihistamines, however, physicians could recommend a series of anti-allergy shots known as immunotherapy.
