The causes of allergy
In some cases, it may be easy to determine what causes your allergic reaction by the timing of your symptoms.1
In other cases, the cause may be harder to discover. If this is the case, your doctor may carry out skin prick tests or blood tests to identify the allergen that triggered your allergic reaction.1
Avoid or minimize exposure to the allergen
Once the allergen is identified, there are things you may do to minimize exposure to it. This may be achieved by removing plants from your garden, avoiding contact with pets or changing how you clean your house. 1
