Allergies in Adults: Causes

Allergy is the reaction of the human immune system to the ingress of allergens into its organism - substances that the system regards as an alien infection and begins to fight it.

Allergy in adults can occur due to a variety of reasons, for example:

• problems of a psychological nature. In our depressive time it is difficult to maintain inner peace, because the constant psychological breakdowns have a negative impact on the nervous system. Scandals at home with family, problems with bosses at work, lack of understanding from relatives, difficult age in children and other similar factors make a person constantly experiencing stress, depression, depressed state, lack of mood and even appetite. On this soil, immunity is greatly weakened, so that an allergy in adults can occur on any factor;
• malnutrition - another reason for the allergy. Today, more and more people are accustomed to eating not by themselves cooked food, but bought in a store and heated in a microwave oven or cooked for a few minutes. Such harmful foods include semi-finished products, instant noodles, packaged tea, canned foods, as well as cigarettes, low-quality alcohol, etc. This food is supplemented with a large number of preservatives, dyes and other substances that adversely affect the digestive and nervous system, liver and other bodies. Need I say that the allergy in adults who eat such foods does not make you long to persuade?
• smoking, which can also become a source of allergy in adults. The body constantly experiences nicotine intoxication, negatively affecting human health, in particular, on its immune system. And weak immunity, as is known, is the cause of allergic reactions to various stimuli;
• an allergy in adults can also be on household dust. Home dust contains microparticles of the skin and hair of people, as well as the skin and wool of animals. Once in the body, these particles cause an allergic reaction;
• food allergies - one of the most widespread varieties of allergies. Most often allergens are food products such as citrus fruits, dairy and sour-milk products, sea fish and seafood, exotic fruits and vegetables, and others. Food allergy in adults develops much more slowly than in children;
• alcohol is also a very common cause of allergic reactions in adults. Often provoke an attack of allergies can vermouth, liquor, various cocktails, because they contain a large number of dyes and other artificial additives. It is also worth noting that the more wine is stored, the higher its ability to cause allergy in adults, since the concentration of special substances in such a drink only increases with age;
• drugs. Unlike children, adults often resort to taking certain medications. Medicines, sometimes a mixture of many different chemicals, can provoke an allergic reaction to a component in its composition, so allergy sufferers need to take medication only after consulting a doctor.

Here are the main reasons for the occurrence of such a disease, as an allergy in adults. If any red spots or rashes, accompanied by itching and flaking, are found on the body, you should immediately contact a medical facility for qualified medical assistance.
