An allergy is a condition that occurs when the body has an exaggerated response or hypersensitivity to an otherwise harmless substance, typically resulting in some kind of symptom. Symptoms may appear in the skin (hives, eczema), eyes (allergic conjunctivitis), nose or throat (nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, rhinitis), lungs (asthma), or other area in the body. Allergic reactions vary from person to person and may range from mild to severe (or “anaphylactic”).

Allergies may be due to airborne allergens (molds, animal dander, pollen), ingested allergens (foods, beverages, medicines), insect stings (yellow jackets, honey bees, etc), or other sources such as latex.

If you suffer from allergies or are a parent of a child who has allergy symptoms, you may want to see an allergist to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
