Learn about common allergies, their causes, and triggers.

Having an allergy is a common occurrence among people these days. This is partly due to increased environmental pollution which triggers allergic reaction. When this happens, your immune system reacts to a substance known as an allergen. It invokes certain consequences which can develop rapidly. In most cases, your body’s reaction can be gradual and predictable with minor signs occurring before a full blown allergic condition develops.
