PostHeaderIcon How are allergic reactions actually formed?

Basically, I have a project on allergic reactions, and I know that it’s caued by antigens or allergens, but what actually causes someone to be allergic to something?

In more clarification, what makes Person A be allergic to bee stings, whereas Person B is not? Is there some certain trait or something in someone’s DNA that determines their immunities or the strength of their total immune system?

    Allergic reactions are highly individual inflammatory responses against specific proteins entering the body. These proteins can be pollens, dusts, foods, medications, or even vaccines.

    An allergic reaction might include hives, facial swelling, or even nausea. More serious reactions can include shock or sudden death (“anaphylaxis”).

    The time frame after vaccination can be immediate (the “Type I” reaction) or anytime in the next 48 hours (the “Type IV” or “Delayed Hypersensitivity” reaction.)

    Go to the CDC.gov and you can find some more things.

    This has something to do with what we call “histamines” when absorbed by your body, your system over reacts. Also your immune system is weak that is why it can’t protect itself from the harsh environment such as dust, pollution, etc. causing allergies.

    The baisic answer is your Imune system thinks that Things like dog dander or some foods are invading bodies and start to attack them. The way they would attack the strep or any other illness. Because of this people like you and me suffer alergies. Medications like Zyrtex, nasiqurt and others help to supress the imune system.
    These sites may help you. Good luck

    My belief is that we all have yeast overgrowths here in the US. B/c of all the wheat and alcohol and yeast and sugar we consume.

    Yeast basically looks like mucus. It’s long and stringy. This yeast can form capsules around your teeth and cause bacteria to stick and bam you get cavities.
    It also can get in your nasal cavity and cause ‘stuffiness’ especially when you wake up in the morning (it grows overnight)

    It can also get into your eyes , causing ‘dry eyes’ and dry eyes leads to vision loss…

    It starts growing from your intestine, so you might have malabsorption of vitamins which means that you are going to feel more and more tired….wanting to take naps.

    Alllergic reactions are actually your body being inflamed because it’s trying to show you that you are fighting something that’s in your body . It shows that your immune system is working overtime.
