Worried about allergies?

‍

Allergy is a commonly used term to describe an overreaction of the immune system. During an allergic reaction the immune system is triggered by harmless substances (e.g. pollen, mite particles, etc.).As a result symptoms like itchy eyes, a runny nose, skin rash, digestive issues or in rare cases, life-threatening reactions (anaphylactic shock) can occur. Allergies affect around 25 % of the general population.Many people do not even know that they suffer from an allergy. Therefore, an early and precise allergy diagnosis can help to prevent subsequent complications, such as allergic asthma or unnecessary dietary restrictions.In most cases, allergy starts in early childhood. To help parents support their children through an allergic disease, a proper diagnosis and early therapeutic interventions are essential. This not only leads to an alleviation of current symptoms but can also prevent deterioration of current allergy symptoms.
