Why Allergies Affect Everyone: The Role of Your Immune System in Reactions

Allergies are very common and can affect anyone. Allergies develop when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance or protein.

Common types of allergies include:

Food Food: Milk, Peanuts, Shellfish
Pollen Pollen: Tree, Grass, Weed
Animal Animal: Fur, Skin, Urine (Dogs, Cats)
Insects Insects: Bees, Cockroaches, Dust Mites
Drug Drug: Antibiotics, Aspirin
Latex Latex: Gloves, Balloons
Mould Mould: Fungi (Aspergillus, Penicillium)

Immunoglobulins E (IgE) are antibodies produced by the immune system. An IgE allergy test primarily identifies immediate allergic reactions. IgE-mediated allergies typically trigger in rapid symptoms within minutes, such as hives, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties, or anaphylaxis (severe, life-threatening allergic reaction).

Food intolerance is when there is difficulty digesting certain foods or ingredients in food. IgG-mediated allergies often result in more subtle or delayed symptoms, such as diarrhoea and bloating.
