Welcome to this week’s quick health capsule:

Allergy

An allergy refers to a misguided reaction by our immune system in response to bodily contact with certain foreign substances.
It is misguided because these foreign substances are usually harmless and remain so to non- allergic people. Allergy-producing substances are called "allergens." Allergens are substances that are foreign to the body and can cause an allergic reaction in certain people.
Examples of allergens include pollens, dust mite, molds, danders, and foods etc.
