The Many Types of Allergies

allergies_girl1An Allergy is a body response that takes place in people who are susceptible to certain substances.  A substance that might be harmless to a nonallergic person possibly will cause mild to tremendously severe symptoms in an allergic person.  A person can develop hypersensitivity at whatever time, but in a good number of cases the very first warning sign would be known or visible in childhood.

A substance that causes an allergy is known as an allergen; the allergens that cause most asthma, hay fever, and other respiratory allergies consist of house dust, mould spores, pollen and the dandruff or hair of house hold pets.

There are different types of allergies for different people. The most common types of allergy include asthma, hay fever, and a year round nasal allergy called perennial allergic rhinitis.  Other allergies are cigarette smoke allergy which is caused by the thousands of poisonous substances and irritants that are found in cigarette smoke.
