Many ordinary substances can trigger an allergic reaction. Among the most common triggers include:
- plant pollens
- molds
- household dust
- dust mites
- animal dander (fur)
- chemicals
- foods
- medications
- feathers
- insect stings
These triggers are called “allergens.” It is the body’s response to these allergens that causes the symptoms of allergy.
