Children with food allergies, for instance, are as much as four times more likely to have other allergic conditions, including asthma. More than 100 genes are associated with allergies, although only one or two genes affect any given population. Some of these genes affect the immune response; others affect lung and airway function.

<h3>Allergic Reactions </h3>
Allergens are typically harmless substances that trigger an immune response and cause a reaction in people who are allergic. The allergic reaction occurs if the person inhales, touches, swallows, injects, or somehow comes into contact with the allergen. Allergic reactions can be mild, severe, or even life-threatening.

Normally, the immune system protects the body against harmful substances, such as viruses or bacteria. If you have allergies, &quot;your body responds to allergens as if they were invaders,&quot; explains Clifford Bassett, MD, a clinical assistant professor at New York University Langone Health in New York City and the author of The New Allergy Solution. &quot;Your body exaggerates the immune response.

That&#x27;s what causes histamine release and other things that cause allergy misery.&quot;Histamine also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, sending messages between cells. It plays a key role in many different physiological functions, such as telling your stomach to produce acid to digest food or helping regulate your sleep-wake cycle. When your immune system reacts to an allergen, it produces an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE).

The production of IgE is part of your body&#x27;s attempt to destroy the allergen and protect itself. Your blood vessels dilate and become leaky, so white blood cells that fight infection and other protective substances leave the blood vessels to attack the invader.

In the process, the IgE antibodies signal other cells to release certain chemicals, such as histamine in the local tissue and blood stream. Too much histamine or excessive release in the body can cause an unwanted response that leads to skin, nose, throat, and lung irritation or more severe symptoms of anaphylaxis.In this way, a normally protective process creates a cascade of what we know as allergy symptoms in response to harmless allergens.

There are other types of allergic reactions, such as delayed hypersensitivity reactions, which includes contact dermatitis from poison ivy or a nickel allergy — these are mediated by T cells in the immune system rather than antibodies.The most common allergens that trigger allergic reactions include:
PollenDust mitesPet dander or furCockroachesMold sporesFoods (eggs, fish, milk, nuts, wheat, soy, shellfish, and others)Insect stings or bites (from wasps, bees, mosquitoes, fire ants, fleas, horseflies, black flies, among others)Medicines (penicillin, aspirin, and others)LatexHousehold chemicalsMetals (especially nickel, cobalt, and chromates)

 <h3>Seasonal Allergies</h3>
Certain allergies can strike at any time of year. Seasonal allergies, on the other hand, occur at times of the year when certain types of outdoor allergens are predominant. &quot;You can have both,&quot; says Dr. Bassett.And about two-thirds of people with seasonal allergies actually have year-round or persistent allergies, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

Seasonal allergies are most often triggered by mold and pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds such as ragweed. The allergic reaction occurs during the weeks or months when the plant pollinates. Allergy triggers may vary depending on geographic location and climate, but relocating to avoid seasonal allergies generally doesn&#x27;t help.

Another difference: Allergic coughing is typically the result of postnasal drip, unlike the dry COVID-19 cough. Other conditions that produce allergy-like symptoms include:Non-allergic rhinitis, which mimics allergic rhinitis but does not involve the immune system (at least one-third of people with rhinitis symptoms don&#x27;t have allergies)
Sinus infectionsNasal polyps or a deviated septum

If your allergies are less severe or merely annoying, you may be able to find an effective over-the-counter (OTC) treatment. A pharmacist may be able to help you choose the best option based on your symptoms. OTC medicines include antihistamines and decongestants and nasal steroid sprays (which relieve congestion and previously were prescription).

A number of other complementary and integrative medicine approaches for asthma, eczema, and other allergic symptoms have a variety of supporting evidence.

Alternative and Complementary Therapies

Complementary remedies, such as acupuncture, and nasal irrigation techniques may also help relieve allergy symptoms.A study published in June 2018 in Acupuncture Medicine found that patients receiving acupuncture needed less medication and had fewer symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis than the control group. A number of other complementary and integrative medicine approaches for asthma, eczema, and other allergic symptoms have a variety of supporting evidence.

These include breathing exercises, dietary changes, and herbal remedies. Bosso cautions people about using alternative therapies to treat allergies. &quot;Many things that purport to treat allergies are available because in the supplement/non-pharmaceutical market you don&#x27;t need to prove efficacy or that it&#x27;s better than placebo, it just needs to be proven to be safe,&quot; he says.

Ninety percent of children and 50 percent of adults with asthma have allergic asthma. Allergic asthma causes inflamed airways to become irritated and over-respond when an irritant is inhaled, triggering an asthma attack. The muscles around the airways tighten, making the airways swell and overproduce mucus.

Minorities are less likely to be included in clinical trials that test the efficacy and safety of drugs, and this can lead to disparities in treatment. This seems to be especially important in asthma, as there is evidence that in some instances Black and white populations may respond differently to certain medications, as suggested in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Black and Hispanic Americans are also at a higher risk for exposure to air pollution, which contributes to worsening of allergies and asthma.
