  6. I don't have allergies to anything, but I'm still wondering why some people have allergies to things and other people don't.

  7. This diagram really helped me understand allergies. However I'm still not very clear on how the histamine works.

  8. Now it's more clear why some people have alleregies and others don't. I use to think my brother was weird because he's allergic to trees, pollen, cats and chocolate. So, the large amount of antibodies produced for the allergen causes the mast cell to release histamine, which causes the allergy symptons. That makes more sense than it did before.

  21. I'm not allergic to anything and I now understand why people can become allergic to some things while others aren't.
    And I totally agree with YuXiao's suggestion! :]
