About Allergy

Allergies are hypersensitive disorders of the immune system. People have allergic reactions to all sorts of things from pollen and dust, to pets, to food and insect stings. Allergic reactions happen when usually harmless substances found in the environment called allergens react with your immune system and trigger a predictable, rapid response. Depending on the allergy and the severity, the body could respond with asthma, a runny nose and itchy eyes, to hives, to anaphylactic shock or death. Treatments for allergies include anti-histamines, steroids, and immunotherapy. While it is not sanctioned in anyway by the FDA, there is some talk of hookworms, a small parasitic worm that lives in the human gut, being used to suppress the auto-immune system resulting in almost no allergies. However, too many hookworms and the body becomes anemic.
