Allergies are very common in human population causes many symptoms and can also plays an important role in asthma and breathing issues. An allergic reaction occurs when a person’s immune system becomes negative to normally harmless substances. People are commonly allergic to certain type of food, pets and drugs.

For example, the first time you stung by a bee, you may have only pain and redness from the sting. If you stung again, you may have hives or trouble breathing. This can cause by the response of the immune system.

Although 25% of people believe they are allergic to certain foods, only 4 - 8% of children and 2% of adults have diagnosed food allergies. These affect mostly young children, and about 90% of these allergies caused by cow's milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, fish, and shellfish.

Wasp Sting Allergy Wasp sting results in mild allergic symptoms which may lead to serious consequences. The wasp injects a lesser amount of venom than a bee. The stinger of the wasp itself has a venom filled sac and an egg lying tube which serves as a needle. The wasp squeezes the sac and injects venom into the sting instrument, which is then injected into the victim’s body. A feature that is unique to wasps and hornets is the pheromone that is present in their venom. This serves to alert other wasps in surrounding areas which then come and join in stinging the victim. Allergies to Dogs Allergic reactions from dogs are caused by dog dander. All dogs shed dander continuously. Dander is the microscopic bits of hair and skin that have a protein-based oil secretion on them. Because the dander varies slightly from one dog to another, it is possible for a person to have an allergic reaction to one dog and not from another, even if it is of the same breed. Skin rashes, respiratory problem or irritation and itchy eyes are some common symptoms. Why to prefer emergency care in Allergic reactions?
