Summary Introduction

Allergens are non-toxic and harmless foreign bodies that activate an immune response and end with allergy. As an immediate response, the immune system interferes by releasing certain chemicals, resulting in symptoms such as running nose, sneeze, eye irritation, chills, short breath, and skin rashes. For example, if an individual has a pollen allergy then, the immune system identifies pollen as an allergen and triggers the first line of response against it.
