What Is Allergy?
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Effects range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a life-threatening emergency.
Why Allergy Happens
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, animal fur, certain foods, medicines, insect stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.
Symptoms of Allergy
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
