Every individuals immune system plays a very important role in infections. A lowered immunity is one of the major causes for easy susceptibility to infections. So to be healthy we have to follow few things to maintain a good immune levels ,thus not to fall prey to infections frequently.
Allergies or allergic conditions are reactions caused due to hypersensitivity of the immune system to any substance which might not cause harm to most other people. But nowadays almost 80% of people present with allergic reactions to many substances; be it dust, pollens, food, climate, clothing. Persistent and uncontrollable reactions indicate an underlying pathophysiology. A special mention here to allergic reactions getting worse sometimes even due to psychological causes.
When a person with allergies comes in contact with any allergen, a hypersensitive response from the immune system gradually builds up sensitivity, recognises the allergen and produces antibodies against the allergens. This process is called Sensitization.
Most common allergens causing allergic reactions are:
1.Dust and Danders

3.Insect stings
4.Weather changes
5.Clothings
6.Medicines
7.Sunlight
8.Household chemicals
