What is an allergy?
An allergy is an excessive or abnormal adaptive immune response directed against non-infectious, often inert environmental substances (allergens), including non-infectious components of certain infectious organisms.1
Allergic disorders, which include anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis/hay fever, eczema, and asthma, afflict approximately 25% of people in the developed world. For people with allergies, persistent or repetitive exposure to allergens, which are typically innocuous substances, results in chronic allergic inflammation.1
In Sweden around 30% of the population suffers from pollen allergy.14
In turn, this can produce long-term changes in the structure of the affected organs and substantial abnormalities in their function.1
