There are different types of allergies. Some of the most common types are: Nasal allergies, and Chronic Allergies. Nasal allergies refer to the interaction of allergens with cells within the lining of the nose.

Chronic Allergies are a bit more serious than nasal allergies. An individual with chronic allergies may have nasal allergies and will also start to be affected by nonallergic stimuli. These can include dry air, cold air, smoke, and particles in the air. The individual with chronic allergies can follow the same steps to prevent allergies that a person with nasal allergies can. The main difference is knowing which other allergies affect them.

Common allergens include pollens, dust, dust mites, mold spores, and animal dander.

In severe cases, allergies may lend to faulty thinking, and to minimal brain dysfunction in children. A large proportion of the physical suffering in the United States is caused by allergies
