Allergies: Allergies or Allergic rhinitis is a natural response of the immune system against a substance called an allergen. Hypersensitive responses can happen with anyone, regardless of whether they have not had sensitivities previously. There is a possibility that a person may build up a sensitivity after coming in contact with an allergen more than once. Mild allergy symptoms include wheezing, a runny or blocked nose, swollen, watery eyes, or skin itching. Serious signs of an allergy are difficulty breathing, a rash, or hives. Hypersensitivity is an unexpected response that sometimes turns into a dangerous response and needs quick treatment.
