Allergies

An allergy is an immune system reaction to a substance, such as pollen, food, or pet dander, that is typically harmless to most people. Symptoms can range from mild, like sneezing and itching, to severe, such as difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. Allergy testing helps identify specific allergens triggering these reactions, using methods such as skin prick tests, blood tests, or elimination diets. Accurate identification of allergens is essential for effective management and treatment of allergic conditions.
