What are Allergies?
Allergies are hypersensitive reactions of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These reactions can range from mild symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes to more severe symptoms like swelling, rashes, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylaxis. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, certain foods (such as nuts or shellfish), animal dander, insect stings, mold, and medications. Managing allergies often involves avoiding triggers and using medications.
The Burden
Approximately 20-30% of India’s population suffers from at least one allergic disease, highlighting the significant health burden allergies impose. An estimated 37.9 million people in India are affected by asthma, a serious respiratory condition. Additionally, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis among Indian children is particularly concerning, varying between 11-24%. These conditions not only impact quality of life but also contribute to increased healthcare costs and absenteeism.
Identify Your Trigger
Allergic reactions are triggered by substances that are usually harmless to most people, such as pollen, pet dander, dust, house dust mites, certain medications, insect stings, and mold. Identifying these specific triggers is crucial for managing and preventing allergic reactions. This can be effectively achieved through appropriate diagnostic tests, including skin prick tests, blood tests, and challenge tests, which help pinpoint the exact allergens responsible for your symptoms.
