So today, my allergies finally hit me. My eyes itch and are watering like crazy. However, none of my friends are experiencing it as bad as I am. Also, some of my friends don’t feel affected at all. Why do allergies affect some people mroe than others, and some not at all?

people who tend to suffer with allergies a lot,is because their immune system is,nt as strong as it should be.If a person eats lots of fruit and vegetables and takes suppliments like vitimin C D E then this should help to build up their immune system.By the way, when you have really bad itchy eyes, place a couple of cold used teabags on them, you,ll soon experience lots of relief from this simple remedy lol

Allergy is a defect in the immune system. It is a chronic condition. It can be controlled but not cured. What happens is the immune system misidentifies harmless benign proteins as evil enemy invaders, it creates a human immunoglobulin E that in turn gets the mast cells to produce histamine. It is the histamine that makes you feel cruddy.
So, you see it is individual to each person that has this defect.
Your friends that have no reaction are not allergic to the things you are allergic to..or perhaps they have a functioning immune system that doesn’t have this mis-identification problem.
