Abstract: Allergic reactions may not occur until a person had repeated and prolonged exposures to a specific allergen. Previous exposure may have gone unnoticed with no or only mild symptoms. One day, however, the immune system is overwhelmed and reacts violently and may cause a great deal of discomfort. Almost anything can be an allergen, but for the purpose of this subject, the most common indoor allergens are: tobacco smoke, dust mites, animal dander, moulds, pollen, chemicals, and cockroach waste-products.
