The substance that causes allergic reactions is called allergens like sunlight, dust, mites, pollen grains, etc.

An allergen can enter the body in the following ways:

Through the nose: Allergen such as pollen grains, dust, and animal hair can enter the body when a person breathes in.

Through the mouth: food allergens such as milk, eggs, fish and some medicines enter the body when a person eats such food.

Through the skin: Allergic reaction also occurs due to insects bites and sting. An allergy is also caused when our skin comes in contact with certain metals or cosmetics and strong sunlight.
