Allergies

Allergies are not a disease. They involve the body's abnormal response to elements that are otherwise harmless to other individuals. The obvious treatment to curing allergies is to avoid the allergen (elements that provoke allergies). When a person comes into contact with allergens, they will fuse with antibodies within the body, producing histamines and leukotrienes, which cause allergic symptoms. It is believed that allergies are passed down genetically through families.
