If you would like more information on allergy and treatment - then this is the section for you. Here we look in detail at how allergic reactions happen, the different pathways involved and the various types of treatment available - from the doctor, the pharmacist and the supermarket shelves.

We outline symptoms caused by conditions other than allergy and to help you get the most out of the website, we have also included a glossary of some technical terms.
