Dust allergy, as the name suggests, refers to the hypersensitivity of the immune system to the allergens present in the dust particles, which results in the abnormal overreactions in the body.

Any of the foreign substances that we touch, swallow or breathe can cause abnormal allergic responses from our immune system. There is an exaggerated reaction from the immune system that gives response to the harmless substances, which it feels are harmful and in order to counter attack them, the immune system releases antibodies which further respond with ‘histamines’. These Histamines are the real culprits for making a person allergic as well as causes serious effects like asthma, respiratory problems and may lead to the fatal anaphylactic shock.
