Allergy
Allergies are inappropriate or exaggerated response of the immune system to substances called allergens that are harmless in most people. Allergic disease can occur at any age, and genetics play a key role in whom will develop it. Symptoms of allergic disease may occur when someone with a predisposition to allergic disease is exposed to an allergen to which they are sensitive.
