Abstract
Allergy is a syndrome characterized by an undesirable bodily reaction against a harmless substance. Allergies are very common, and the prevalence of allergic diseases has continued to grow over the last 50 years. It is not completely clear why some people develop allergic reactions and others do not. In this article, we explore how an allergic reaction occurs, as well as discuss the causes of allergy and its treatments.
