alerginis

Alerginis is a term of Lithuanian origin that translates to "allergic" in English. It refers to a hypersensitive or overreactive state of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens and can include pollen, dust mites, certain foods, animal dander, and insect venom. When an individual with an allergy is exposed to an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and releases chemicals, such as histamine, to combat it. This release of chemicals triggers a range of symptoms, which can vary in severity. Common allergic reactions include sneezing, itching, watery eyes, rashes, hives, and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, an allergic reaction can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition. The study and treatment of allergic conditions are known as allergology. Individuals experiencing symptoms suggestive of an allergy are often advised to consult a medical professional for diagnosis and management.
