  An allergy is the exaggerated reaction of the immune system to allergens, as the body reacts as if they were germs. Many times we do not know that we are allergic to something and attribute our discomforts to another cause or illness. The truth is that the signs that we are suffering from some type of allergy are quite clear, which is why we tell you what the most common allergy symptoms are . Respiratory allergies: Respiratory allergies occur when a susceptible person inhales particles capable of causing an immune reaction. As a result, signs and symptoms appear that, depending on whether they affect the upper or lower respiratory tracts, manifest as allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, or asthma. - Rhinitis: It is characterized by nasal itching, sneezing, abundant mucus, and nasal obstruction. - Conjunctivitis: Intense itching or burning in the eyes, swollen eyelids (especially in the morning), red eyes, discharge, and tearing. - Asthma: The symptoms of asthma are recurrent coughing fits, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and wheezing when breathing. Anaphylactic allergy Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction throughout the body to a chemical that has become an allergen (it can be to a drug or the venom or sting of an insect). After being exposed to a substance like bee venom, the person's immune system becomes sensitive to it. Symptoms: - Swelling of the face, eyes, and tongue - Difficulty swallowing or speaking - Rash on the body - Stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting - Sudden fainting Food allergy Foods, whether natural or modified, can cause adverse reactions to those who consume them.
