Sensitization of the body is a state of increased sensitivity (susceptibility) of the immune system to allergenic substances in the environment. Sensitized cells, responsible for the development of the immune response, contain a special molecule that binds to the corresponding allergen and triggers a cascade of reactions aimed at its destruction. This powerful reaction can lead to serious consequences such as allergic reactions, inflammation, asthma, anaphylaxis and even death. However, sensitization is a necessary step for the formation of protective immunity against various infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Sensitization to certain allergens is often associated with seasonal
