About Allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something that is normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Effects range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a life-threatening emergency.
Why Allergy Happens
Exposure to pollen, dust mites, animal fur, particular foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and new surroundings on holiday can bring out allergies you did not know you had.
Balat: Local Notes for Allergy
Balat is a busy visitor area, so long days on foot, crowds and street food are the usual causes of illness. Close by are Ortakoy, Bebek, Arnavutkoy, which share the same medical services. City air, dust, pollen and street food can all set off allergies. Carry antihistamines you have used before and check food ingredients.
