| Allergies are diseases of the
immune system that cause an overreaction to substances called
"allergens." They may be in reaction to a substance that is eaten, breathed
into the lungs, injected or touched. Symptoms can include coughing,
sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose and scratchy throat. In severe cases it can
also result in rashes, hives, lower blood pressure, difficulty breathing,
asthma attacks, and even death. Though one in four Americans suffer from
allergies, there are no known cures. Allergies can be managed with proper
prevention and treatment. Read through the following links for more
information on managing your allergies. |
