Summary Introduction

To determine: What kind of hypersensitivity is hay fever and the signs of hay fever.

Concept introduction: Overreaction of the immune system toward normally harmless substances is known as allergic reaction. The causative agent or any substance that causes allergy is called an allergen. The common allergen includes chemical or drug and food or pollen from a plant. Re-exposure of the same allergen immediately stimulates the IgE to bind to the sensitized mast cells and release the chemical mediators such as histamines from the mast cell granule to cause allergic reactions.
