What is allergy?
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Reactions range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a severe emergency.
Common triggers
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, certain foods, medicines, stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.

Typical choices are antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
