Allergiatüüpilisi

Allergiatüüpilisi refers to typical or common types of allergies. Allergies are an exaggerated immune system response to substances that are normally harmless to most people. These substances are called allergens. When an allergic person is exposed to an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and releases chemicals, such as histamine, which cause allergic symptoms.

Common types of allergies include environmental allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, which are triggered by airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander. Food allergies are another prevalent category, with common culprits being peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish. Insect sting allergies, caused by the venom of bees, wasps, and other stinging insects, can lead to severe reactions.

Skin allergies, such as eczema (atopic dermatitis) and contact dermatitis, manifest as itchy, red rashes. Eczema is often linked to other allergic conditions, while contact dermatitis occurs when the skin directly touches an allergen. Drug allergies are also significant, with various medications being potential triggers for a range of reactions, from mild rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Understanding allergiatüüpilisi helps in identifying potential triggers and managing allergic conditions effectively.
