Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe. Mild symptoms might include itchy eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. Severe symptoms can cause difficulty breathing, which may be life threatening. Keep in mind that it is the immune system and not the allergen that causes the allergy symptoms. Allergy symptoms can be treated with medications such as antihistamines. Severe allergic reactions may require an injection of the hormone epinephrine. These treatments lessen or counter the immune system’s response.
Beth and Mark where hiking. Mike was not having a good time. The pollen count was very high today and his eyes and throat were itching and he couldn't stop sneezing. When they sat down to rest Beth felt a sting on her arm and saw a be fly away. Her throat started to close and she was struggling to breath.
Whose allergies were more severe?
