Allergy awareness is the understanding of how allergies affect individuals and the importance of recognizing and managing them. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances, known as allergens, which can include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and certain foods like peanuts or shellfish. Awareness helps people identify symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, or swelling, and encourages them to seek medical advice. Promoting allergy awareness is crucial in schools, workplaces, and public spaces to ensure safety for those affected. Educating others about the signs of an allergic reaction and how to respond, such as using an epinephrine auto-injector, can save lives. Understanding allergies fosters a more inclusive environment for everyone.
