Allergy is a disorder (or improper reaction) of the immune system often also referred to as atopy. The immune system produces proteins known as IgE antibodies. These antibodies protect you from unwanted invaders that could make you sick or cause an infection.

This triggers the release of histamines and other substances that cause allergy symptoms
