Lätthalofiler

Lätthalofiler, also known as lethal allergens, are substances that cause severe allergic reactions, often resulting in life-threatening symptoms. These allergens can be found in various environments, including the home, workplace, and natural surroundings. Common sources of lethal allergens include certain types of dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and specific proteins found in insects and other animals. The severity of the reaction can vary, but it typically involves symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat and tongue, and in some cases, anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction.

The immune system responds to lethal allergens by producing antibodies called IgE, which bind to the allergens and trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals. This process leads to the characteristic symptoms of an allergic reaction. People with a history of severe allergic reactions are often advised to avoid known allergens and to carry epinephrine auto-injectors for emergency treatment. Research into the identification and management of lethal allergens is ongoing, with the goal of improving diagnostic tools and developing effective treatments to mitigate the risks associated with these allergens.
