Allergies


Allergies are part of your body's non-specific immune system. Watch this animation to learn more.

What types of allergies do you suffer from?

  1. Oh...
    So that's how my body reacts...
    Gee...
    I wonder why some people (like me) are allergic to certain allergens or whatever you call it - the things that trigger allergic reactions - while some aren't. And why do some people react more severely than others?

    And what causes food allergies and other allergies like random allergies to a perfume or cream (like suntan lotion)? How does the body react to that?

  7. Why do some people suffer from allergies while others do not? Is there variation in their cells?

  8. I didn't realize that allergies involved so much! I actually don't have any allergies, but now I know how allergic reactions occur.

  9. Two things. I have to agree with Owen. That guy's sneeze was really loud!
    I also have a question. Why is it that one year i suffer and allergy, the next year i don't and next next year i suffer from the same allergy again?

  11. I never knew that allergies aren't actually dangerous to your body. It makes sense though, because it explains why only certain people have certain allergies.

    its kind of weird that people are only allergic to some things and how does it work if your allergic to a food. whats in the food that triggers the allergic reaction?
