Allergies happen when our body thinks something harmless, like pollen or peanuts, is a bad germ! 🌸🥜 Our body tries to protect us by making us sneeze, itch, or get a rash. It's like a little mistake our body makes!
Some kids have allergies to things like cats, dust, or certain foods. But don't worry—doctors can help make allergies feel better! 🩺
Allergies happen when our immune system—the body's defense team—gets confused! 🛡️ It mistakes harmless things like pollen, pet fur, or certain foods for dangerous invaders. Then, it releases chemicals like histamine, which cause sneezing, itching, or even trouble breathing.
Some common allergies include hay fever (from pollen), food allergies (like peanuts or milk), and reactions to insect stings. Doctors can test for allergies and help manage them with medicine or avoiding triggers.
Allergies occur when the immune system misidentifies a harmless substance—called an allergen—as a threat. 🌍🔬 Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods (like nuts or shellfish), and insect venom.
When exposed to an allergen, the immune system produces antibodies called IgE, which trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals. This causes symptoms like sneezing, swelling, rashes, or even anaphylaxis—a severe, life-threatening reaction.
Scientists believe allergies develop due to a mix of genetics and environmental factors (like pollution or diet). Treatments include antihistamines, allergy shots (immunotherapy), and avoiding allergens.
