Our body has a natural defense mechanism against harmful invaders such as viruses or bacteria. However, sometimes, the defenses are too aggressive and harmless substance such as dust or pollen is mistakenly identified as dangerous. Our immune system then rallies its defense, destroying the said “enemy”, causing unpleasant—and in extreme cases—life threatening symptoms. Such reactions is called allergy.

Allergy can be caused by almost anything. The most common perhaps are pollens, dust, cockroaches, chemicals and even food. These triggers are called allergen. Allergic reactions are also varied. It can either be allergic rhinitis, a reaction characterized by excessive sneezing, difficulty in breathing, itchy skin or in some extreme cases—hyperventilating.

If you are experiencing allergic reaction that can no longer be controlled by over-the-counter medications, maybe it is time for you to seek the help of an allergist—a physician specializing in the treatment and prevention of allergies.
