Treating Allergies
Treating allergies is a tough business. One of the only ways to get rid of allergies would be to grow out of them, which isn't really a treatment at all. The other and only other way to treat allergies is to build immunity. Building immunity can be a long process, sometimes it might be easy, building immunity to Hay Fever just requires you to be outside. Or building immunity could be tough, like in most cases. These tough cases are treated by a series of injections that can take along time. These injection each include mall amounts of the allergen, this system works by trying to make the body less sensitive to the allergen.Life With Allergies
People with allergies have the potential to live a completely normal life depending on the severity of the allergies. Most people will not die from allergies, though some symptoms can kill you, Staying away from your allergen is all you need to do to live normally.
