Almost anyone can be affected with an allergy, however some factors can contribute to the acquisition of it.
Generally allergens enter the body through four main routes: the airways, the skin, digestive system, and the circulatory system.
Allergic reaction appears when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance such as dust, pollen, bee venom, pet dander or household chemicals. Tobacco is one of the most important indoor pollutant, which is strongly associated with allergic sensitization, asthma , and other respiratory illnesses. It may affect even an infant if the mother is a constant smoker.
Airborne allergens from household pets are another common source of environmental exposure. In contact with the skin, they can cause reddening, itching, and blistering, called contact dermatitis.
Sometimes the increased amount of toxic metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium in the body can cause allergies, when the chemicals replace vital nutrients that the body requires to defend itself against allergic reactions.
Insect bites and stings or injection of drugs also may bring allergens directly into the circulation, where they cause anaphylaxis, swelling and irritation at the injection place. Bees, wasps, and hornets mosquitoes fleas scabies may contribute to allergy. In come cases people become allergic to dust mites, which can be found in beds and carpets.
Among drugs that commonly cause allergic reactions are penicillin or other antibiotics flu vaccines tetanus toxoid vaccine gamma globulin.
However, more often people develop allergies to certain food, and more common a food is, the more likely it is that people will be allergic to it. For example, rice allergy cases are very typical in Japan. Food allergies occur when the body's immune system overreacts to substances in a particular food. High in minerals foods such as molasses, shellfish, wheat, corn and soy are rich in copper, which can result in allergies. Common food allergens include the following: cow's milk, eggs, nuts, fish, and legumes peanuts and soybeans. The typical allergic reaction in this case includes itching and swelling of the lips and throat, cramps, and diarrhea.
Most individuals suffer from allergies because they are not producing adequate amounts of adrenal gland hormones.
An adrenal insufficiency is the main cause of allergies to pollen, dusts, molds, animal hair, foods and environmental chemicals.
The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis a potentially life-threatening emergency.
