Allergy is an atypical hypersensitivity of the body in response to contact with an allergen. Allergens are substances that cause an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction can develop when an allergen comes into contact with mucous membranes, skin, when it enters the bloodstream. After contact with an allergen a human body produces antibodies to it. If there are certain disorders in the body, the number of antibodies may be much greater than required, so a hypersensitivity reaction, i.e. allergy takes place.
