Allergies cause the immune system to react abnormally to the allergen that has entered the body. One of the more common allergies is pollen. When this allergen has entered the body, The immune system will attack it. Even though pollen is harmless, your immune system sometimes may think that a pathogen (germ) has entered the body, therefore causing the body to produce histamine. Your doctor will give you antihistamines if you are allergic to something. Antihistamines will stop symptoms such as a runny-nose, watery eyes and itchy eyes.
