Typical signs of allergy are sneezing, a stuffy nose or burning eyes. In an allergy, the body’s immune system reacts to essentially harmless substances from the environment (allergens) through a hypersensitivity reaction.
In the most common type of allergy (type 1 allergy), the immune system responds to allergen contact through the formation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies.
