Explain how an allergy affects the body

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: An allergy is a hypersensitive reaction in which the body produces antibodies in response to the presence of a normally harmless substance in the environment. Antibody production triggers the release of histamine, which dilates blood vessels, increases the production of mucus, and may cause tissue swelling, rashes, difficulty breathing and even anaphylaxis.
