AB  - An estimated 25% of the British population suffers from some form of allergic 
      condition. Atopic dermatitis and food sensitivities are more common in infants 
      and younger children, with hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), perennial 
      allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma developing throughout adolescence. Allergic 
      reactions occur as a result of an interaction between allergen and mast cells via 
      the antibody immunoglobulin E (IgE). Classic symptoms include itching, redness 
      and swelling. These symptoms, and their time course, help the health professional 
      to differentiate between allergic and non-allergic symptoms. Avoidance plays a 
      part in management. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency and recent guidelines 
      recommend early use of epinephrine in patient with a severe allergic-type 
      reaction.
