An allergic response is the body's way of recognizing a harmful substance. Sometimes this mechanism becomes hypersensitive and reacts to things that are not harmful. That is what is most commonly referred to as an allergy. For example, some people are allergic to metals like the ones in jewelry and develop a green discoloration in their skin. This tends to happen to rings on some people's fingers.
