Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the USA and affect more than 50 million people. An allergy occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to a harmless foreign substance. The substances that cause allergic reactions are allergens. When someone has allergies, their immune system produces an antibody called histamine and these antibodies create a medical reaction to allergens. The symptoms that result are an allergic reaction such as sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and runny nose.
