What is an Allergy?

It is a disturbance of the immune system (IS) – a ‘mis-regulation’ – in which it misinterprets an innocuous substance or agent as being foreign,  even dangerous. A reaction is then mounted, which can be manifested as asthma, hay fever, eczema etc. Insect venoms may cause pain and local swellings, but they are essentially innocuous.
