Allergy is so embarrassing, but only people who experience it can really understand how it is. For someone with allergies, even a small thing can cause big problems. Seemingly harmless, dust particles, inflammation from a cat, or a breeze of flower pollen can lead to allergy symptoms.
Surely you wonder why the human body reacts in such a way? Why exactly are you allergic and your friend is not? Why do you have or do not have sneezing? Why do your nose or eyes fill with tears? Basically, an allergy is the body's reaction to a misinterpreted threat, something that is usually harmless.
When you are exposed to an allergen, the body responds by trying to block it. In some people, these harmless substances can trigger an immune response in the body to save the latter from these "invaders". The body produces an antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E), which attaches to cells called mast. This causes the release of various substances, including histamine, which causes allergy symptoms.
It is good to know that your immune system works so hard to protect you, but for those with seasonal or year-round allergies, this protection usually leads to inflammation. It is precisely the inflammatory response that causes that strange feeling and the need to sneeze. Your eyes may shift to a protective position also creating tears and blood vessels may swell and give you the appearance as swollen, red eyes or other typical signs of allergy.
