Common allergies can be divided into four general groups:  (1) indoor, (2) outdoor, (3) skin, (4) food and drug. Indoor allergies are the result of allergens, or allergy-producing substances, commonly found inside buildings. These substances are inhaled through the nose and enter the lungs, causing allergic reactions such as coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes. Airborne cat or dog dander, dust mite feces, and mold spores are all examples of indoor allergens. Outdoor allergies are often called seasonal allergies since many of the substances triggering an allergic response are present only during certain times of the year. Grasses and weeds are common seasonal allergens, causing many of the same symptoms as indoor allergens. Skin allergies , in contrast, produce an altogether different set of symptoms such as rashes and blisters, symptoms that can strike in or out of doors. Products used indoors like laundry detergent, skin cream, and latex gloves can also cause skin allergies. Out of doors, the sting of bees, ants, wasps, and other insects can cause an allergic response ranging from mild to severe. Food and drug allergies afflict only about 6 percent of all allergy sufferers, with food allergies stemming from the consumption of just a few foods:  milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, nuts and shellfish. While penicillin is probably the most common drug allergy, other drugs, for instance, sulfa, can produce a severe allergic response. Of all the allergies, those caused by food and drugs are probably the most dangerous. An allergic reaction to peanuts or penicillin, for instance, can end in death if not treated quickly.
