allergy sufferer

An allergy sufferer is someone whose immune system reacts abnormally to typically harmless substances called allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods. These reactions can cause symptoms like sneezing, itching, congestion, or skin rashes, and in some cases, more serious issues like difficulty breathing. Allergies are a common immune response where the body mistakenly identifies a benign substance as dangerous and releases chemicals to fight it. Managing allergies often involves avoiding triggers, taking medications, or undergoing treatment to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
