What Are Allergies?
Allergic reactions occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless substance (an allergen) as a threat. These allergens may be inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with the skin. Common triggers include:
- Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds)
- Dust mites
- Pet dander
- Mold spores
- Insect venom
- Certain medications
- Foods such as milk, soy, eggs, fish, wheat, shellfish, and nuts
While allergens are harmless to most, they can cause significant symptoms in sensitive individuals. Allergy symptoms can be seasonal or present year-round depending on the source.
Common Allergy Symptoms
Symptoms may vary depending on the allergen type and the route of exposure. These may include:
Airborne Allergies:
- Sneezing

Food, Insect, or Medication Allergies:
- Hives or rashes
