WHAT IS ALLERGY ?

Allergy is when the body's immune system


reacts to something harmless, like dust,
pollen, food, or medicine, as though it's
harmful. This reaction can cause
symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching,
swelling, or difficulty breathing. Common
allergens include peanuts, pet dander, and
insect stings. Managing allergies often
involves avoiding triggers and using
medications when needed.

TEACHING AND INTERVENTIONS
STRATEGIES
• Know the Triggers: Avoid allergens like pollen,
dust, or specific foods to prevent reactions.

• Create a Safe Space: Keep the classroom allergen-


free and ready for emergencies.

• Support Each Other: Be understanding and kind to


classmates with allergies.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS AND BEST
•
PRACTICES
Allergy Education: Programs in schools teach students and staff how to
recognize and respond to allergic reactions.

• Emergency Policies: Schools with EpiPen policies have reduced severe allergy
risks.

• Teacher Training: Trained teachers are better prepared to handle allergy


emergencies.

• Student Advocacy: Students lead awareness campaigns to support peers with


allergies.
CONCLUSIONS
Allergies happen when proteins on tiny particles, like dust or
pollen, are inhaled or encountered and trigger an immune
response (IgE antibodies) in people who are genetically
predisposed. This reaction is common in areas where these
allergens, such as dust mites and pollen, are abundant. Allergies
occur when a person’s immune system reacts to harmless
substances in the environment, known as allergens. Examples of
allergens include dust mites, pets, pollen, insects, ticks, mold,
certain foods, and some medications.

In summary, allergies are the result of an overactive immune


response to otherwise harmless substances, and they vary
depending on the individual and their environment. Proper
management and avoidance of triggers can help reduce symptoms
