What Are Allergies?
Imagine waking up every morning with itchy eyes, a stuffy nose, and endless sneezing. Sound familiar? Allergies can turn simple joys—like enjoying a walk outside or cuddling with a pet—into a frustrating battle with congestion, fatigue, and discomfort.
Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, pet dander, dust, mold, or certain foods. Instead of ignoring these triggers, your body launches an attack, causing inflammation and symptoms that range from mild irritation to severe reactions.
Living in Toronto means dealing with seasonal pollen surges, indoor allergens, and urban air pollution—all of which can make allergy symptoms worse. But the good news? Relief is possible. With the right approach, you can calm your immune system, reduce symptoms, and get back to feeling your best.
