Could you tell me what are allergies and how come we experience symptoms only during specific periods of the year?

Allergies: Allergies are an exaggerated response of the immune system to certain items in the environments such as plant pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, insects, etc. Some individuals are sensitive to seasonal items and others have sensitivities to items all year round.
