Frequently Asked Questions

An allergy is an abnormal immune response to a harmless substance called an allergen, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods.

Allergies develop when the immune system mistakenly identifies an allergen as harmful and produces antibodies (specifically IgE antibodies) to defend against it.

Common types of allergies include hay fever (allergic rhinitis), asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, food allergies, insect sting allergies, drug allergies, and contact dermatitis.

Symptoms include sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, swelling, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, or anaphylaxis (a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction).

Yes, allergies can have a genetic component. If one or both parents have allergies, chances are that their children will develop allergies as well.

Currently, there is no known cure for allergies. However, various treatments, such as medications, allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots), and lifestyle modifications, can help manage symptoms and reduce the severity of allergic reactions.

Treatment options for allergies include antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, decongestants, leukotriene inhibitors, mast cell stabilisers, immunomodulators, and epinephrine (for severe allergic reactions).

While natural remedies may provide some relief for mild allergy symptoms, they are not considered a substitute for medical treatment. Examples include saline nasal rinses, honey (for hay fever), and butterbur extract (under medical supervision).

Prevention of allergies includes minimising exposure to known allergens, keeping indoor environments clean and well-ventilated, and avoiding tobacco smoke.

No, food allergies and food intolerances are not the same. Food allergies involve an immune system response, whereas food intolerances are typically related to digestive system issues and do not involve the immune system.

Yes, allergies can develop at any age. It is possible for someone to develop allergies to substances they were previously not allergic to.

If someone is allergic to pollen, they may also experience an allergic reaction due to cross-reactivity when consuming certain fruits like apples or peaches.

Allergies to cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat, and tree nuts are more common in children. However, some of these allergies can be outgrown over time.

Yes, allergies can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms in some individuals. This condition is known as allergic asthma.

Yes, pets (e.g., pigeon dander), dander (tiny skin flakes), saliva, and urine can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Common pet allergies include those to cats, dogs, and rodents.

An epinephrine auto-injector, such as an EpiPen, is a device used to deliver a dose of epinephrine in case of a severe allergic reaction. It helps counteract the effects of anaphylaxis and should be carried by individuals at risk of severe allergic reactions.

While some allergies can be outgrown, such as milk or egg allergies in children, others tend to persist throughout life, such as allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish.

Stress can potentially worsen allergy symptoms and make individuals more susceptible to allergic reactions. However, stress alone does not cause allergies.
