Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is an allergy?

An allergy is an exaggerated response by the immune system to substances that are normally harmless, such as pollen, food or animal hair. These substances are called allergens.

Allergy symptoms can include sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, skin rashes, difficulty breathing and swelling in parts of the body, depending on the type of allergy.

The most common allergies include food allergies, drug allergies, seasonal allergies (such as hay fever), animal allergies and allergies to insect bites.

Allergies can be diagnosed through skin tests (prick or intradermal tests) and blood tests that measure the presence of specific IgE antibodies to allergens.

Treatments for allergies can include antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots) and avoiding exposure to allergens.

There is no definitive cure for allergies, but symptoms can be managed effectively with medication and lifestyle changes. In some cases, immunotherapy can significantly reduce sensitivity to certain allergens.

In the event of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), emergency medical assistance should be sought immediately. People at risk of anaphylaxis often carry an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) for use in emergencies.

Yes, allergies can develop at any age, although some are more common in childhood. However, it is possible to develop new allergies at any stage of life.

There is a genetic component to allergies, which means that they tend to run in families. However, a predisposition to allergies does not guarantee that a person will develop a specific allergy.

It's not possible to completely prevent the development of allergies, but some measures can help reduce the risk, such as avoiding early exposure to known allergens and maintaining a clean environment free of dust and mites. In addition, breastfeeding can help protect against some allergies in babies.
