Understanding Your Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system detects a supposedly harmless substance and identifies it as a threat. You can come into contact with allergens via air, mouth, or touch. These substances are seemingly harmless for most people. However, allergy sufferers’ immune systems overreact and see these substances as dangerous.
Allergens can be seasonal or they can be present all year-round. The severity and type of symptoms will largely depend on the type of allergens that trigger the allergies. Common allergens include:
- Pollen
- Dust mites
- Mold
- Pet dander
- Nuts
- Egg
- Shellfish
- Milk
- Wheat
- Fish
- Soy
- Insects and insect venom
- Certain medications
- Certain chemicals
Common allergy symptoms include:
- Nasal congestion
- Frequent sneezing
- Runny nose
- Itchy and watery eyes
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Skin rash
Common Allergy Symptoms
Allergy symptoms vary from one allergy sufferer to another. It also differs based on how the person comes into contact with the allergen. Allergy symptoms typically fall into two categories:
- Allergy Symptoms From Airborne Allergens
Airborne allergens typically cause allergic rhinitis. Symptoms will include frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and coughing.
- Allergy Symptoms From Food, Medications, and Insects
Allergic reactions from food, medication, and insect allergens typically don’t result in allergic rhinitis. Itchy, watery eyes, swelling, skin rash, vomiting, breathing difficulties, and loss of consciousness are instead more common.
