Living with allergies can be challenging, especially when symptoms are at their worst. Allergies can interfere with your day-to-day activities and significantly affect your overall quality of life.
An allergy occurs when your immune system overreacts to a typically harmless foreign substance like pollen, dust mites, mold or animal dander. When your body detects an allergen, mast cells release histamine into the bloodstream, which causes allergic reactions such as itchy or watery eyes, scratchy throats, runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion and more.
