Causes and symptoms of allergic reaction in body

Most of the people are allergic to one thing or the other. When an allergic reaction take place the immune system in our body reacts to it and assumes as if it is harmful for our body. People are allergic to certain foods, medicines, plant pollen etc. In an effort to protect our body from certain foods, the immune system produces lgE substance or antibodies to control that allergen. Thus, certain cells release chemicals like histamine into the bloodstream. This chemical then penetrates into nose, throat, eyes, skin or gastrointestinal tract causing allergic reactions. These allergic reactions could be mild or severe like runny nose or difficulty in breathing. Did you know the asthma attack in a person is an allergic reaction?

If aggravated these allergic reactions can become severe which are known by the name anaphylaxis. The symptoms of severe allergic reactions include difficulty in swallowing, breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat. Fortunately, these severe allergic reactions have a cure.

According to Dr. Guy Delespesse, Professor at the Universite de Montreal Faculty of Medicine, allergies occur due to excessive cleanliness. There are several reasons involved through which allergy takes place like air pollution, stress, tobacco, family history, processed foods etc. According to researchers there is good relationship between hygiene and allergies. If a child lives in a more sterile environment, s/he may develop more allergic problems or immune problems in their lifetime. Did you know that Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis are the result of immune system becoming hostile?

No doubt hygiene does reduce the exposure of harmful bacteria but it limits the exposure to good microorganisms. The researchers suggest use of probiotics to enrich our intestinal flora. Probiotics have a proven record of treating diarrhea. If taken during pregnancy probiotics helps in reducing allergies in a child. More people are prone to environmental allergic reactions like pollen, mold spores, animal hair, insects and chemicals. Severe allergies can be treated with injections but most of the people prefer on the counter medications. We should remain cautious in using various household items which trigger allergic reactions. Washing bedding more frequently at the highest temperature is recommended as it would kill dust termites instantly.
