Allergies Health Center

Allergies and allergic responses are caused when the body's immune system has a reaction causing the body to release inflammatory proteins into the body. Since immune systems and antibody count vary from person to person, allergies and allergic reactions differ greatly with each individual. 

One person's immune system may attack the allergen bee venom, brought into the bloodstream through a bee sting. Another's immune system may react with peanut ingestion. It is when the immune system targets these allergens as harmful, that our bodies react and begin to fight against the substances.
