ABSTRACT

Many airborne pollen grains on contact with fine mist droplets may absorb water, swell and burst, releasing large numbers of allergenic particles, which add to the allergen load of the air. Whilst the airborne spora is not a likely culprit, it may possibly be a part explanation of the weakening of immune systems in land fauna such as humans and other mammals, where allergenic spores and pollen with contaminated surfaces may play a major role in this phenomenon. Aeroallergens and allergenicity due to airborne allergens are a contemporary phenomenon of considerable importance to the health and economy of human society. When an allergen enters the body, substances called antibodies are produced. The interaction of allergen and the antibody produce an irritation in the affected tissue. The direful allergic reaction is anaphylatic shock. According to J. B. Anon, anaplylaxis in the allergy patient is probably one of the greatest fears of the beginner as well as the seasoned allergist.
