allergies information

An allergic reaction occurs when the body responds to a harmless substance as though it were a foreign invader, such as bacteria or a virus. The immune system releases histamine to attack the substance, or allergen, which produces allergy symptoms. There are two types of upper-respiratory allergies: seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever, and perennial allergies, which occur year-round. Hay fever is caused when the pollens of ragweed, grasses, and other plants are spread by the wind and inhaled. Perennial allergens include molds, dust and animal dander.
