🧠 Why Do Allergies Occur?
Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to substances that are usually harmless to most people. These substances are called allergens (like pollen, dust, pet dander, certain foods, or insect stings).
- Your immune system sees the allergen as a threat.
- It produces antibodies (IgE) to fight it.
- These antibodies cause the release of histamine, leading to inflammation and typical allergy symptoms.
🧬 Common triggers include:
- Pollen (seasonal allergies/hay fever)
- Dust mites
- Animal dander
- Foods (e.g., nuts, dairy, shellfish)
- Insect stings
- Mold
- Certain medications
🤧 Symptoms of Allergies

Respiratory Allergies (like hay fever):
