Allergies
When the body comes into contact with something that it sees as a threat, the immune system will be deployed in order to destroy it. This is perfectly natural and is the way that humans and animals deal with things like germs that have entered the body. However, when the body reacts strongly to something that is usually harmless - such as tree pollen, for example – then this is referred to as an allergic reaction. In other words, an allergy – or an allergic disease as medical scientists would say – is a hypersensitivity to something non-harmful, usually referred to as an allergen. Symptoms of allergies include itchiness, running noses, red eyes, soreness and even life-threatening anaphylactic shock in the most severe cases.
