What is an allergy: Your immune system protects the body against foreign substances. But sometimes the system overreacts and treats harmless substances as a threat. A person without allergies would have no reaction to this harmless substance. However, a person with allergies will produce antibodies to attack this perceived threat. This sets off a complex chain reaction within the body that causes the release of chemicals such as histamines. Unfortunately, histamines not only attack the threatening substance but also cause the typical symptoms of an allergy such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose. Take hay fever, for example, the immune system overreacts to pollen and the release of histamine in the body causes hay fever symptoms like itchy eyes and sneezing. Seasonal: Symptoms occurring mainly in spring and summer are usually triggered by pollen from grasses, weeds and trees. This is called seasonal rhinitis and is commonly known as hay fever. Perennial: When symptoms occur year-round this is called perennial rhinitis, and they are usually triggered by house dust mites, animal dander or mould spores.
