Allergic Diseases

Allergies, also described as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment. These diseases involve hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis. Symptoms may have red eyes, an itchy rash, sneezing, a runny nose, shortness of breath, or swelling. Food intolerances and food poisoning are two different conditions. Common allergens include pollen and certain foods. Metals and other substances also cause problems. Food, insect stings, and medications are usual causes of severe reactions. Their progress is due to both genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism include immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE), part of the body's immune system, binding to an allergen and then to a receptor on mast cells or basophils where it triggers the release of inflammatory chemicals like histamine.
