FAQ
  1. Seasonal Allergies: Also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, this type of allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to allergens present in the air such as pollen, mold spores, and dust mites. Seasonal allergies commonly cause symptoms such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy and watery eyes, and postnasal drip.
  2. Food Allergies: This type of allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to certain proteins in food, considering them as harmful substances. Common food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish. Food allergies can cause a wide range of symptoms, including itching, swelling, hives, digestive issues, respiratory distress, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction.
  3. Skin Allergies: Also known as contact dermatitis, this type of allergy occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with an allergen, causing an allergic reaction. Common skin allergens include poison ivy, nickel, latex, fragrances, and certain chemicals in cosmetics or personal care products.
