Allergies

The word allergy is derived from the Greek words "also" meaning "other than" and "ergon" meaning "reaction". So an allergy can be defined as a disorder that involves the immune system response of the body. Due to this disorder our immune system is at times hypersensitive to otherwise harmless foreign substances (dust, pollen, grass etc.) that invade the body.

How does our immune system work?

Our immune system is usually a well-trained biological warfare unit for the body. The immune system is able to identify and destroy many foreign invaders, as well as cells that are infected internally with viruses.

The immune system sometimes makes a mistake with allergies and this result in a hypersensitive immune system. When this happens the immune system misidentifies a harmless substance as harmful, and then attacks the substance with fierceness far greater than required.

It is usually difficult to tell the difference between a cold and an allergy attack, because the symptoms can be very similar. If your symptoms last more than 2 weeks, you might have an allergy instead of a cold.

General symptoms:

Although allergies can mimic almost any sickness, the following symptoms may still represent some form of an allergic reaction. If you or your child experience a combination of the following symptoms, you might have allergies:

• Nasal congestion

• Itching

• Sneezing

• Sudden drop of energy

• Heart palpitations

• Fluid retention

• Irritability

• Pain of unknown origin

• Any form of mental disturbance

• Confusion

• Dizziness

• Abnormal sweating

• Absentmindedness

• Headaches

• Muscle pains

• Joint aches

• Sleep difficulties

• Food intolerances

• Gut problems

Don't wait or expect these symptoms to vanish. See your physician for a proper diagnosis.

Different kinds of allergies -

Allergies can be broadly categorized into two completely separate classes as immediate hypersensitivity and delayed hypersensitivity.

• Immediate hypersensitivity

This represents a very quick reaction of the immune system to harmless foreign substances, typically taking 5 to 15 minutes to become really obvious.

Immediate hypersensitivity is a common kind of allergy which causes hayfever, allergic asthma, food allergy and some drug allergy.

• Delayed hypersensitivity

This is a much slower reaction of the immune system, usually taking two or more days to manifest. This class of allergy is typified by peeling rash called contact dermatitis that people get from jewelry, watches or clothing items.

It can also be caused by cosmetics, medical plasters or a variety of other things which you come in contact with.

Some of the common allergens include -

• Dust mites (tiny insects that live in dust)

• A protein found in the dander (dry skin human/pets)

• Pollen (grass, flower and Tree)

• Mold and mildew

• Foods (milk, wheat, soy, eggs, nuts, seafood, peas, beans and peanuts)

Allergies are not only bothersome, but many have been linked to a variety of common and serious chronic sicknesses such as sinusitis and asthma. These are the following symptoms of an allergy:

• Sneezing

• Runny nose

• Itchy eyes

• Itchy ears

• A sore throat

These are some of the symptoms of a food allergy:

• Hives

• Stuffy nose

• Stomach cramps

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Irritated skin

Although most of us may be born with a genetic susceptibility to become allergic to a substance, we are not automatically allergic to some allergens. There are several factors that may result in allergic sensitivity -

• The specific inherent biological genes.

• The exposure to one or more allergens to which you have a genetically programmed response.

• The extent and degree of exposure.

• After inflammation the mucosal linings become more porous
