Here is some information about allergies, symptoms, causes and resources.
What is an allergy?
An allergy is the improper response of the immune system to a specific foreign substance. When exposed to a normally harmless substance, such as dust, the immune system reacts as if the substance is harmful, causing uncomfortable physical symptoms. The substances that cause this reaction are called allergens. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than 50 million people in the United States suffer from allergies each year.
What are the symptoms of an allergy?
The most common symptoms of an allergic reaction are rhinitis or “hayfever.” The symptoms are sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchiness in the nose, roof of the mouth, throat, eyes and ears. These allergic symptoms can turn into chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma. Rhinitis or “hayfever” is an inflammation of the mucous membranes that occurs when allergens touch the lining of
the nose.
Can allergies cause asthma?
Yes, asthma (an inflammation of the bronchial airways) is one of the more serious respiratory diseases caused by sensitivity to allergens and irritants. This inflammation causes the airways to produce increased mucus, mucosal swelling, and muscle contraction. These bodily changes produce airway obstruction, chest tightness, coughing, and wheezing. If the allergic reaction is acute, these changes can cause severe shortness of breath and low blood oxygen.
What are skin allergies?
Skin allergies are bodily reactions caused by exposure to allergens and include:
• Eczema, is an allergic skin disorder often affecting the face, elbows, and knees. The common symptom is intense itching that can turn into lesions or oozing blisters. The most common triggers include allergens, overheating or sweating, emotional stress, eating certain foods, and contact with irritants such as wool, pets, soaps or other substances.
• Hives are marked by a swelling of the skin accompanied by redness, and itching. The most common cause of hives can be a viral infection. An allergic reaction to drugs, foods, or latex may also cause hives. Some people have chronic hives that occur as a reaction to circumstances or events. Scratching and stress can worsen the hives. Eliminating the trigger (for example, certain food, medication, latex) is the best remedy.
• Contact dermatitis is a reaction produced by the contact of the skin with an allergic substance causing the skin to become red, itchy and inflamed. Poison ivy is the most common cause. Other plants, metals, cosmetics, and medications also cause a reaction.
How can I find out what is causing my allergies?
A health care professional can diagnose allergies after a detailed health history and physical examination. They may also perform additional diagnostic tests including skin or blood tests, if necessary.
