Some people break out into mild rashes and suffer from hives and watery eyes, while others suffer from more severe reactions depending on their body and immune system. Surprisingly, with how common allergies are, there still isn’t any cure but treatments like antihistamines, decongestants, nasal steroids, and immunotherapy.

What are
Allergies?
Every year, millions of people are diagnosed with some kind of allergy, with over 32 million people suffering from food allergies in the US alone. While some cases aren’t as severe, others can result in death. But what are allergies?
Allergies are a natural bodily reaction to generally harmless substances or allergens such as pollen, animal dander, certain foods, and more. Your body’s immune or defense system gets triggered to react by these substances, causing a lot of discomfort and pain.

Types of
Allergies
Even though a lot of people might suffer from the same kind of symptoms and allergic reactions, there are a plethora of different types of allergies and ways to prevent and significantly reduce them.
Seasonal allergies
Commonly known as hay fever, seasonal allergies are caused by pollen, generally causing inflammation, swelling, congestion, stuffy nose, watery eyes.
You can stay indoors, avoid opening your windows to reduce contact and allergic reactions to pollen. Over-the-counter medication, oral antihistamines, nasal steroids, and nasal antihistamines are your best friends when it comes to finding relief.
Food allergies
One of the most common types of allergies is food allergies that trigger a negative response in your body due to specific foods. Most adults and children are allergic to dairy, soy, seafood, peanuts, triggering an immune response within minutes of eating the food.
Symptoms typically include diarrhea, itching, nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties, hives, and swelling around the mouth area. For most people, it can be challenging to avoid these foods and stay safe from allergic reactions but keeping prescribed injectable epinephrine (adrenaline) with you can always be a lifesaver.

Allergies FAQs
There is currently no cure for allergies, but you relieve your symptoms and find relief through antihistamines, over-the-counter medication, and a prescribed epinephrine auto-injector. You can also try immunotherapy to reduce the seriousness of your allergic reactions.
Allergies don’t discriminate based on gender, age, or race and can affect anyone. Even though children might be more susceptible to allergies, adults aren’t safe from its grasp either. Some allergies might be heredity, but the exact genetic factors are yet to be determined.
For the most part, when you apply, ingest, or breathe something and it triggers an immune response, you can narrow down your allergens. To pinpoint the culprit, you can also visit your doctor and opt for allergy diagnostic tests, such as skin tests or blood tests, to receive immediate results and avoid your allergens.
