FAQs on Visual Worksheet: Allergy

1. What are allergies and how do they occur?
Ans. Allergies are overreactions of the immune system to substances that are usually harmless, known as allergens. When a person with an allergy encounters an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and produces antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). This triggers the release of chemicals such as histamine, leading to allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and swelling.
2. What are some common allergens?
Ans. Common allergens include pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, dust mites, mould spores, pet dander, certain foods like nuts, dairy, and shellfish, insect stings, and some medications. Each of these can provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
3. How can allergies be diagnosed?
Ans. Allergies can be diagnosed through various methods, including skin prick tests, where small amounts of allergens are introduced to the skin to observe reactions, and blood tests that measure the presence of IgE antibodies specific to certain allergens. A thorough medical history and symptom review are also crucial in the diagnosis process.
4. What are the typical symptoms of an allergic reaction?
Ans. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can vary widely and may include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, hives, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening reaction that can cause difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, and a rapid drop in blood pressure.
5. What are some common treatments for allergies?
Ans. Common treatments for allergies include avoiding known allergens, using antihistamines to relieve symptoms, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and in some cases, allergy shots (immunotherapy) to desensitise the immune system to specific allergens. Emergency epinephrine injections may be prescribed for individuals at risk of anaphylaxis.
