An allergy is a long term condition in which the immune system mounts an abnormal reaction to an ordinarily harmless substance called an allergen.[1] Allergic reactions vary in severity from relatively minor symptoms to life-threatening anaphylactic shock.[1] |title= |title=== Allergic reaction == |title=An allergic reaction occurs when the person's immune system produces Immunoglobulin E (IgE). When the person comes into contact with an allergen, the IgE travels to cells that release histamine and other chemicals; it is the histamine that causes the allergic reaction.[1] |title= |title=A severe, systemic allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock, and can be life-threatening.[2][3] |title=
