Understanding Allergy
Allergies occur when the body’s defences react strongly to a harmless substance like pollen, dust, food, a drug or a sting. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
Common Triggers
Exposure to pollen, dust mites, animal fur, particular foods, medicines, stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.
Typical Symptoms
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
