Hypersensitivity: what is it and how to treat it

Hypersensitivity, or allergies, is a common condition that can occur with asthma, hay fever, hives and other conditions. It is caused by an immune reaction to antigens that can cause cell damage and other negative effects.

When an antigen enters the body, it causes the formation of specific antibodies, which can lead to serious secondary effects upon repeated exposure to the antigen. This can lead to symptoms such as narrowing of the bronchioles, tissue swelling and other unpleasant symptoms.

Allergies to certain types of food can cause nausea, hives and other reactions. Various methods are used to detect allergies, including injecting a sterile solution of a specific protein under the skin.

Treatment for allergies may include the use of antihistamines, immunotherapy, and other methods. In addition, it is important to avoid contact with antigens that may cause an allergic reaction.

It is possible that people who are particularly susceptible to allergic reactions have an increased ability to form antibodies, which can lead to the formation of antibodies to many substances. However, individual differences in allergic sensitivity have not yet been fully explained.

Overall, hypersensitivity is a serious condition that can lead to serious consequences. However, modern medicine offers many treatments that can help relieve symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. If you suspect an allergy, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
