An allergy is a malfunction of the immune system where the body reacts to something that might otherwise be harmless, like pollen, cats, mold, etc. It doesn't have to be life threatening to require treatment. A stuffed up nose or a persistent itchy scaly rash can interfere with normal life. When I was a teenager, my hands looked like raw hamburger. Asthma, which is sometimes but not always life threatening, is another symptom of an allergy. A large percentage of the population is allergic to something. Many many people only discover allergies when they move from one country to another or one part of a big country to another. Allergists, btw, are physicians who are frst certified as internists or pediatricians before they enter into training in allergy and immunology, a two year program in the US.
