An allergy is a hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (allergen). If a person has a hypersensitivity to an antigen they will have a patholigic (disease) response when exposed to that antigen. When the hypersensitive individual is initially exposed to the antigen, they will produce allergen specific antibodies, primarily immunoglobulin E (IgE), that will during subsequent exposures bond with membrane proteins on the mast cell membrane. This bonding allows degranulation (the release of stored chemicals) of the mast cell. Mast cells manufacture and store chemicals, including histamine, that are responsible for the affects of inflamation.

What is the application of histamine chamber?
A histamine chamber is used to test for histamine sensitivity or allergies by exposing the individual to controlled levels of histamine and observing their reaction. This type of test can help diagnose conditions like histamine intolerance or allergies.
Do pine trees release a histamine?

How do allergies affect the body's production of histamine?
Allergies trigger the body to release histamine, a chemical that causes symptoms like sneezing and itching. This overproduction of histamine can lead to inflammation and other allergic reactions in the body.
What relieves the symptoms of allergies?
An anti-histamine such as Aeris or Benadryl is your best bet for relief from allergies.
What is the main function of eosinophils?
They are important in allergies. They produce the Histamine.
What is the basic function of eosinophil?
They are important in allergies. They produce the Histamine.
What is hydroxyzine?
It is an anti-histamine drug that helps with anxiety, allergies, and rashes/itchy skin
What kind of a drug is Loratidine?
Loratidine is a second generation histamine antagonist drug that is used for treatment of allergies, it is marketed under the name Claritin and is closely related to trycyclic anti depressants.
What is Mast cells produce which inflammatory substance in response to allergies and 8203?
Mast cells produce histamine in response to allergies. Histamine is a key inflammatory substance that contributes to allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and redness. When allergens are detected, mast cells release histamine, leading to an inflammatory response that helps the body fight off perceived threats.
What is the function Basophils?
They produce histamine which is important in Allergies. They also produce a anti clotter of blood Heparine.
What is an anti-histamine?
An antihistamine is a drug or substance which counters the effect of a histamine - commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies.
Hello, Richard. I ca?
Hello, Richard. I can't say what your children's bloodwork showed and whether it led to the "high histamine" diagnosis. But I can tell you that we don't typically test for histamine itself during allergy testing (either skin tests or blood tests)-what may be tested for are IgE antibodies against certain foods. Histamine is a chemical substance that is released by mast cells in the body (these are part of the immune system) and that is sometimes found in certain foods. Histamine is a substance that leads to many of the symptoms of allergies. I suspect that the nutritionist was not basing her assessment of 'high histamine' on bloodwork but rather simply on the fact that your kids have allergies, since food allergies are in part mediated by histamine release in the blood. Therefore, she is likely recommending to avoid foods that stimulate release of this substance or themselves contain it.
