Allergy Facts....

"An allergy is a condition in which your body's immune system reacts with unusual sensitivity to a certain substance or substances. These offending substances are called allergens, or "triggers". Allergens stimulate your body to produce antibodies that fight the invaders. The antibodies, in turn, cause special cells called mast cells to release a chemical called histamine. An excess of histamine is what results in allergy symptoms. (You may be familiar with the term antihistamine, a drug that works to block the excess histamine.)

"...The other commonly used method of testing for allergies is the blood test, or RAST (radioallergosorbent test). There is also a more recently developed version of the test, known as MAST (multiple antigen simultaneous testing). These tests may be easier on patients than skin tests, and have similar diagnostic success scores."
