An allergy is common but how can we remove it .If we don't know whom is responsible for this !

 

An allergy occurs when the body reacts to a substance. This may cause a mild to severe problem. There are different kinds of allergies. The most common allergies are to: 

• Things in the air such as pollen, mold, pet dander or dust 

• Things you touch such as metal, latex or chemicals 

• Foods you eat or drink such as eggs, peanuts, nuts, milk, soy, wheat or shellfish 

• Insect stings, such as yellow jackets, bees, wasps, hornets, or ants 

• Medicines 

An allergy cannot be cured, but treatment can help you feel better. The best plan is to avoid the substances that make your signs worse. 

Signs 

The most common signs of allergies are hives or skin rashes and wheezing or trouble breathing. If you have trouble breathing, call 911. Other signs depend on the cause of the allergy and may include:
