Allergy Education
What are allergies, and how do they affect me?
Allergies are caused by your immune system reacting to everyday substances like pollen, mold, pet dander, or certain foods as if they were dangerous. These reactions can disrupt your daily life, but they don’t have to—we offer a range of treatments to help manage your symptoms.
What symptoms can allergies cause?
Allergy symptoms vary but often include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, hives, or swelling. More severe symptoms can include difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. If you’re experiencing these, our team is here to provide the care you need.
