They are everywhere, these seemingly harmless and, more often than not, minuscule entities that make our system go berserk for some reason. They are out to get us, making us sneeze our brains out, break out in hideous hives, puff and swell until we are unrecognizable, or, catastrophically, die from anaphylactic shock. These reactions can be elicited by a myriad of possible sources, depending on the types of allergies involved.

Let us not even try to enumerate all the known allergens in the world or we shall begin to doubt the inhabitability of this planet. To simplify the discussion on the different types of allergies, we shall have to group them according to their most general similarities.

The first group is called the indoor types of allergies. These allergies usually involve perennial allergic rhinitis, which has the symptoms of a cold and all the joys – stuffy nose, runny eyes, sore throat, etc. - that go with it, and allergic asthma, which involves wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. These two more or less have the same culprits: pet dander, house dust mites and their feces, and mold spores. Allergy relief products such as air purifiers may help.

The outdoor types of allergies are mostly caused by pollen from trees, weeds, grass, and other plants. While indoor allergies include a longer-staying, seemingly permanent allergic rhinitis, the outdoor variety is more seasonal in nature. Those who suffer from this may decide to stay inside during peak pollen times. If you do have to go out, it is better to carry allergy relief products such as antihistamine tablets.

Venom allergies, the third group, could be an unofficial sub-group to the different outdoor types of allergies. These concern stinging insects, such as bees, wasps, and hornets. A mild allergic reaction to the sting would bring forth some swelling, redness, and pain. However, a severe reaction may cause anaphylactic shock and, if not immediately attended to with medical treatment, consequent death.

The next group relates to the various types of allergies involving food and drugs. The most common food allergens are found in cow’s milk, egg whites, wheat, soy, different kinds of nuts, and shellfish. As for drugs, antibiotics lead the list in incidents of allergic reactions. Some of the other drugs included are vaccines, antiseptics, and aspirin-like drugs.

The last set of allergies involves skin allergies. Some medical terms for these are eczema, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. These different skin allergies may be triggered by a variety of things, some of which have already been mentioned above, such as dust mites, pet dander, and plants. It is always a good idea to be armed with allergy relief products, just in case.

Having any of these types of allergies can affect the way we go about our days. For some, it can even define the quality of living in a major way. Allergy relief products may help us feel better, but the way we confront the problem would make much a better difference. With enough understanding and awareness, there is no reason why life should be less enjoyable.
