As a type of dust it is easy to inhale. You can be allergic to many types of dust partials. What happens is your body thinks an allergen is harmful and your immune system attacks it. The production of mucus in the throat and nose is the bodies way of trying isolate and get rid of a perceived threat and tries to wash it away. An allergy is a case where the body is overreacting to things that aren't really that harmful.

Allergies can come and go and no one is quite sure why some people's immune systems overreact to certain things. Something is clearly wrong with the body if a person has many extreme allergies. Exposure to toxins I believe can trigger some types of allergies and our world is now full of toxins especially in industrial areas.
