A person with Allergies is generally understood to have an immune system that over-reacts to normal and inocuous materials, such as pollen. The "allergy shot" is an injected solution containing a very dilute and small amount of these materials. The idea behind allergy shots is to continuously expose the immune system to very low levels of the material so that the immune system learns to "tolerate" the material and the person will stop having allergy symptoms.
Generally the person will need to be on allergy shots for the rest of his/her life - without constant low-level stimulation, the immune system tends to lose its tolerance and the allergy symptoms return.

Are food allergies due to toxins found in foods?
Allergies are caused by an over-reaction of an individuals immune system to a specific substance which most other people would find harmless.To the person with the food allergy, if a meal contained a substance they were allergic to, they could reasonably consider it a "toxin". However, to every other person without that particular food allergy, it would not be considered a "toxin".As such, "toxins in food" do not cause allergies, but they may trigger them in already allergic individuals.E.g, some people are born with a penicillin allergy. But in most cases this will not bother them, unless they are given penicillin. In this case, they will have an allergic reaction; penicillin is the trigger, rather than the cause of the allergy.

First of all, you cannot take anything to stop nut allergies as in medicines. You can however get allergy shots, like i do. It doesnt hurt really... it just feels like a normal shot. THIS WILL HELP YOU! I am allergic to bees and NO longer have to fear literally for my life.I would just have the same reaction anyone else would, and it helps so much! I recommend this especially for nut allergies. Maybe shots will help you if you don't have a serious nut allergie. But I do and a shot won't help. My doctor even told me. Also a warning: if a test tells you you have grown out of an allergy don't even try to eat nuts even if your shot tells you so.
Effective Dog Allergy Treatment And Tips?
Many people long to adopt a canine companion, yet find themselves hindered by pesky dog allergies. These allergies are generally due to to an allergen called Can f 1, which is found in a dog’s saliva. However, many people also find themselves allergic to pet dander, or a dog’s skin dead skin cells, and dog urine. While dog allergies are less common than cat allergies, many people find themselves allergic to dogs, which can easily become irritating when in the home of a pet owner and in a variety of public places. Along with making dog ownership uncomfortable, these allergies can interfere with a person’s daily life. Fortunately, those that are allergic to dogs have a number of different options regarding dog allergy treatment. Dog Allergy Treatment Options Many people believe that certain breeds of dogs are non-allergenic. While some breeds may be less irritating on those with dog allergies, no breed is completely non-allergenic. Mainly, these breeds are said to be non-allergenic because they shed very little. However, because many people are allergic to a dog’s saliva and/or urine, the lack of shedding may only partially improve one’s allergies. In addition, certain breeds may affect an allergic person differently. One breed may cause sever reactions, while another breed may cause a very small reaction. Therefore, if a person finds themselves allergic to dogs, yet still desires a canine companion, he or she may want to test a variety of breeds to determine if a certain breed would be a suitable pet. Another option when treating dog allergies is to take advantage of allergy medications or allergy shots. Allergy medications are a great option for those that are going to be around another person’s dog or in a home or location where there is a dog present. Allergy shots are a more preferable option for those that are allergic to their own pet dog. This is because the affects of an allergy shot are longer lasting and will provide better allergy control. When treated properly, it is possible for those with dog allergies to control these allergies and may even be possible to become a dog owner.
