- This site describes allergy as "a disorder of the
immune system often also referred to as atopy.
Allergic reactions occur to environmental
substances known as allergens; these reactions are
acquired, predictable and rapid. Strictly, allergy
is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is
called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It
is characterized by excessive activation of certain
white blood cells called mast cells and basophils
by a type of antibody known as Ige, resulting in an
extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic
reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma,
food allergies, and reactions to the venom of
stinging insects such as wasps and bees."
