What causes your body to attack allergies?
Your body doesn't "attack allergies". When you are exposed to something that sets off your allergies, your body is attacking a protein that is called an "allergen". This allergen can be anything, from pollen or ragweed to dust mites or the scent of a perfume. When you are exposed to the allergen, your body's immune system reacts against it as if it were an invading bacteria, setting up an inflammatory response. This is why you get the itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, dry throat reaction - it's your body's immune reaction.
What does an allergen have to do with a food allergy?

Can an allergy cause a fever?
