Pollen grains get “blamed” because they are carriers of the allergens that trigger the reaction. At allergenic plants are particularly strong concentration of pollen, and the reaction is named after this. Most genes exist also in other parts of plants, especially in the foliage. Especially grass pollen allergies will notice this when they, for example, turning lawns, even though grass is not thriving in the immediate vicinity.

What effect does the allergy vaccination treatment offer, you might wonder?

There is evidence that allergy vaccination is an effective treatment that can reduce allergy symptoms, allergy-related quality of life better and reduce the need for other allergy medicines.

Through weekly injections for 7 weeks increased allergen gradually until you reach a maximum dose. This dose is given then every 8 week for 3 to 5 years. This way you can develop tolerance to the allergens used in the treatment.

One may be allergic to so many things
Allergens

For allergy cooker will by contact with allergens are initiated production of specific antibodies (IgE). Such antibodies include, among other things, in the airway mucosa, blood and skin.

The renewed contact with the same allergen can cause a reaction with antibody. During this reaction formed the chemical substances that cause symptoms such as itching, nasal congestion, coughing and breathing difficulties.

Histamines

The most important chemical substance that is formed is histamine. It may take a short or long time to develop allergy to a drug. An allergic reaction may be atopic or non-atopic.
Atopic

Atopy is the hereditary predisposition to form IgE. Often, one parent or both allergic. The non-atopic allergy reaction occurs in a small proportion of the population. There may be reactions to drugs or poison from the bee or wasp stings.
