How do allergy shots work to cure allergies?

Allergies are how your body's immune system responds to certain substances (allergens). When the immune system encounters a foreign substance (allergen) that it thinks could cause bodily harm, it wages war to fight the invasion. As a by-product of the response, your body releases histamine (a chemical) that causes common allergic symptoms (runny nose, itchy eyes, hives, chest tightness, etc.). In more severe cases, this allergic reaction can involve the throat, chest, and heart (anaphylaxis). Allergy shots work to decrease your body's sensitivity to these allergens. By slowly increasing your exposure to the foreign substance (in very small amounts), the idea is to re-train your body against reacting to it. Many people experience relief from allergy shots for their seasonal allergies (dust, molds, etc.). It's best to contact your primary care physician and/or allergist if you have more questions about specific allergies.
