Allergic Reactions: An allergic reaction is a hypersensitivity response caused by the immune system’s reaction to allergens, which are typically harmless substances in the environment. Symptoms can range from mild, such as red eyes, itchiness, and a runny nose, to severe, potentially life-threatening conditions like anaphylaxis. Certain environmental factors, like mold, can trigger these reactions. Excessive activation of mast cells and basophils by the antibody immunoglobulin E (IgE) leads to an inflammatory response. Allergic reactions are diagnosed through various tests and are typically managed with treatments such as antihistamines, steroids, or immunotherapy. Professionals like Bio Clean of Utah can help mitigate allergen presence, such as mold, to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
