6. What is an allergic reaction?Your body has an immune system that is responsible for defending you against bacteria and viruses. Sometimes your immune system will defend against substances that typically don’t pose a threat to the human body. These substances are known as allergens. The body reacts by making proteins and releasing histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream. This is the cause of the symptoms you notice. The way the trigger enters the body can vary. The route can be by direct contact with the skin, inhalation, ingestion or injection.
