Allergy, which means hypersensitive reaction in German, refers to special reactions showing up when you touch or eat specific items. It serves as the immune system’s reaction to block external materials such as germs or viruses. Allergy usually comes from dust mites, pollen, peanuts, and chemical products, and displays a variety of reactions such as sneezing, nasal mucus, itching, trouble in breathing, and hives. As artificial chemical products continue to grow in number in this modern society, cases of allergy become worse.
