A note to allergy sufferers: you don't have to1.

Allergies are more widespread than most people realize—conservative estimates suggest that over 35 million Americans suffer from allergies. This number is likely much, much higher because some allergic reactions are so common and consistent that many sufferers perceive them as “normal.”

Allergies are simply adverse immune system reactions to substances that are harmless to most people. Common substances include:

  • Dust mites
  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Mold and mildew
  • Pet dander
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals

Allergic reactions take on many forms—ranging from mild to severe—and can occur virtually anywhere in the body. Common allergic reactions include:


  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Asthma
  • Ecxcema—an inflammation of the skin
  • Rhinitis—an inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes
  • Allergic conjunctivitis—watery eyes
