Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances, triggering an inflammatory response. This can lead to symptoms like sneezing, itching, and swelling. Over time, repeated exposure to allergens can weaken the immune system's ability to fight off other infections.

What are the known causes of food allergies?

Food allergies occur when the immune system mounts an attack on certain proteins in certain foods. The substances in the food that trigger this immune-system response are called allergens. The immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that help defend the body against foreign substances. When a properly functioning immune system detects a foreign substance, it responds to this threat by producing proteins called antibodies against the invaders. The antibodies will recognize and attack this foreign substance when they next encounter it. This "battle" is what causes the allergy symptoms.
