The Basics
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ALLERGY ? 10,11,12
Your body overreacts to
otherwise harmless substances
around you called allergens
like pollen, dust, food items or
even medication.
Once in contact, your body
thinks these allergens are
invaders and releases the
chemical, histamine to fight
them.11
This, in turn, can cause reactions
like skin rashes, headaches,
sneezing, nausea and even
anaphylaxis (which can be fatal
without medical attention).11, 12
ALLERGENS, ALL AROUND US
Although, you cannot completely avoid allergens, learning which ones affect you will help you manage them smarter:
In our food:
Eggs, shellfish, nuts and grains11
In the air:
Dust mites, pet dander, pollen, molds, insect stings11
And everywhere else:
Medications, infections and even some plants12
Spotting the Symptoms

experience symptoms in your eyes, nose and lungs (if inhaled)
or mouth, stomach and intestines (if consumed). The most
common symptoms are11:
