What are allergies?

When fighting off an infection, your immune system detects threats and releases chemicals. An allergy occurs when your immune system mistakes a typically benign substance, such as peanuts, pollen or pet dander, as a threat and then overreacts.

As a result, you experience an allergic response, which could include symptoms such as:

  • Swelling
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Itchy, watery, red eyes
  • Coughing and wheezing
  • Rashes and hives
  • Nausea and vomiting

Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that affects several body systems at the same time. It can cause your blood pressure to drop, your respiration rate to fall, and trigger severe swelling.
