"Allergic reaction is nothing more than your bodies? response to a foreign substance, this called an allergen. Allergic reaction can be caused by any number of things. Basically, anything can cause an allergic reaction. Some examples that I have on screen here are the four different ways that you can be exposed to allergic reaction. One of them over here is skin contact through a plant, through animal, through pollen or through latex are all ways the common allergic reactions happen. Another way is through injection either through a needle at a hospital setting or through a bee sting or any type of insect bite can also trigger an allergic reaction. If you ingest something such as food, medication, nuts and shells are very common. Several people have shell allergies and also to peanuts. Another one is through inhalation through pollen, dust, mold mildew and animals. I am sure everybody has someone that they know that has an allergic reaction of some sort and this is just overview of some of the things that can cause it."
