How to use "Allergic" in context?
Allergic reactions are caused by the body's immune system reacting to something it perceives as harmful. The most common allergens are pollens, foods, dust mites, and animals. We are all exposed to allergens at some point in our lives and most of us develop a tolerance to them over time. When someone is allergic, the body's response is to produce an antibody called IgE. IgE is responsible for the allergic response and it attaches to the antigen, which is the allergen that triggers the allergic response. If you are allergic to something, the exposure can trigger a reaction in your skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
