Allergies
When the hypersensitive skin or immune system of a human body gets in contact with some substance present in the environment or something being consumed, it results in conditions like sneezing, vomiting, swelling, rash, red eyes, or anything insufferable. These conditions are described as Allergies. And the substances that cause this suffering are termed as Allergens. Allergies are mostly taken as mild medical conditions, but some allergies can be fatal. So, knowing about them and getting treated on time is necessary. Our immune system creates substances termed as antibodies that detect beneficial and harmful substances coming in contact with the body. And when a human body is allergic, the antibodies identify some substances as harmful, even if they are not. Those substances, i.e., allergens, can cause mild and major medical conditions. Some are bearable, and some become suffering that if not treated right away, the human body will lose consciousness and breath one's last. So, how to check whether the Allergy is mild or life-threatening? The best you can do is, see a doctor as soon as possible. In addition, having a little medical knowledge is a good use. The seriousness of a specific allergy can be checked with the symptoms.
