What Good Is Allergy
The reaction of the immune system when itching with foreign substances in the body is called ‘Allergy’. Often pollen, bee poisoning, animal feces, dusts, chemicals cause allergies.
The immune system produces substances called antibodies. Some antibodies help to protect the person from unwanted infections and diseases.
Even if you do not have an allergic disease, when a foreign substance enters the body, the antibodies are activated and as a result, allergies may occur. When allergies are encountered, the immune system, the skin, and the respiratory tract usually react to this condition and some changes occur in the body.
The severity of the allergy may vary depending on the individual. It is possible to scratch with small reactions that threaten one's life. Allergy can be alleviated even if it is difficult to determine and sometimes difficult to treat.
