PARENTS: One out of every six Americans suffers from an allergic condition. Allergy is an inherited trait, a genetic suscepatibility towards the production of an allergy anti-body called IGE. These allergy anti-bodies act like fuses on the outside of the allergy mast cells. Once the fuse IGE, comes into contact with the foreign materials like pollens or cat dander (which cause it to be formed), then the mast cell explodes. This allergic explosion releases the chemicals of the allergy cell into the surrounding area, and produces immediate symptoms of sneezing, wheezing, hives and itching so characteristic of all allergies .MY WORD: The environment play a big part in some allergies, i.e. change in temperature, humidity, cold and hot air.(pg.4 pa. 3)
