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