An allergy is a hypersensitive immune response to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These substances, known as allergens, can trigger an overreaction in the immune system, leading to various symptoms and discomfort. Allergies can manifest in numerous forms, affecting the skin, respiratory system, digestive tract, and more. Understanding the causes, signs, and treatments for allergies is crucial for effectively managing and alleviating the associated discomfort.
