Allergies

Allergies can be different for many people. The severity can vary widely as well. The symptoms occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance (this can be anything from pollen in plants, bee venom, pet dander, to a food that doesn't cause a reaction in others). When this happens, your immune system produces antibodies. The antibodies identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't.

When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system. You may experience a difficult time breathing, have feelings of itchiness, watering eyes, general discomfort, and other varying reactions as negative as anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening emergency. While most allergies can't be cured, treatments can help relieve your allergy symptoms. We offer a variety of treatments that range from injections to different medications.
