What causes allergies?

Perhaps the most common cause of allergies is inhaling an offending allergen, like pollen from weeds, flowers, grasses or trees.

A FREE BOOKLET from the makers of DIMETAPP, "Most Asked Questions About Children's Allergies," provides concise, helpful answers to this and six other commonly asked questions.

Children experience the effects of sensitivity to pollen as hay fever (although neither hay nor fever is involved). The medical term for this kind of reaction is allergic rhinitis.

Another common cause of allergies is dander (particles of skin that are continually shed by household pets - even short-haired animals). House dust (dust mites) can cause allergic reactions, as can spores released by molds.
