Allergies are a result of the body's increased sensitivity to common substances in the environment. These substances are called allergens Allergens cause reactions when entering the body through the skin, by inhalations or by ingestion.
Wind blows pollen from grasses, weeds, trees, mold, animal hair, house dust and foods are all examples of
allergens.
When an allergic person is exposed to an allergen, the inmune system produces an antibody, called Inmunoglobulin E
(IgB. It is the production of this antibody that eventually causes allergy synpptoms sneezing, runny nose, headaches,
stamach cramps joint pain and others.
This depends on the cause of the allergy problems. If it is an allergy due to pollen, you should see more symptoms when the plant causing the irritation releases its pollen. If you have a problem with indoor substances, such as house dust or food-related allergies, you are more likely to exhibit year-around symptoms
A small sample of blood is drawn for diagnostics evaluation in the laboratory. The test is quick, convenient,
inexpensive safe and accurate. The test measures the level of circulating IgEantibody in the blood for each specific
allergen tested. The greater the IgElevel, the greater the sensitivity and allergic reaction will be.
Although the tendency to have allergies is inherited, the specific substances you are allergic to is not necessarily inherited. If one parent has allergies, the chances of you also having the are as high as 50%. If both parents have allergies, the chances of you having some allergies can be as high as 100%.

All treatment for allergies should be done in consultation with your physician. The best form of treatment for allergies is avoidance or elimination of the offending allergen. If avoidance is not possible or does not control your symptoms, your physician may recommend over-the-counter or prescribed nasal sprays, decongestants or anti-histamines.
Yes, The blood serumtest is a reliable, safe relatively painless and less expensive method than is the skin scratch /prick test. Wth the skin test you are directly injected with the allergen tested either just on or just below the surface of the skin. The physician will judge the degree of sensitivity based on a visual exam for any form f reaction such as redness, puss or swelling, known as the Wheal/Rare reaction. The blood serum test detects and measures the level of antibodies in one’s blood using sophisticated diagnostic procedures and equipment in a laboratory environment.
A true allergy is evidenced by the presence of a specific IgEantibody in the blood. Often time peaple experience
allergy-like symptoms yet there is no evidence of the antibody in their blood. In these cases, the person may have a
