An initial encounter with an allergen is called sensitization. During this process, the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless substance as a threat, leading to the production of specific antibodies, known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). This initial exposure typically does not result in symptoms, but it primes the immune system for future encounters, which can lead to allergic reactions. Subsequent exposures may trigger symptoms as the body reacts to the allergen.
