At times, the human body reacts to small traces of foreign substances that might actually be harmless. Although harmless, these reactions could be irritating at times. Such a reaction is called as an allergy. Skin rashes, breathing trouble, sneezing, itching, probably even breathlessness, etc. could be experienced, as an effect of an allergy. In extreme allergic cases, people have also been found to collapse. These symptoms, in fact, are pretty commonly known.
Before we set out to find the varying treatment options for the different types of allergies, it’s very important to know why / how an allergy happens. On the surface of mast cells found in tissues of the human body, an antigen-antibody reaction takes place and the same results in the release of histamines later on. An antibody related to a particular antigen is produced by the WBC (White Blood Cells), and the same is known as sensitization. As a result, the skin starts to flush and itch. In some cases, the bronchi tighten / contract and could result in breathing problems. This also causes the tissues and organs to swell. Histamine is the reason that causes most of the symptoms of allergies.
One of the most important reasons for an allergic reaction to occur is the weak immune system of the human body. This occurs as a result of the lack of antibody producing White Blood Cells.
