About Allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Reactions range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a severe emergency.
Signs of Allergy to Look for
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods

Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, certain foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and surroundings on holiday can reveal allergies you never knew about.
