Allergic constitution refers to a condition in which an individual's immune system mounts an abnormally strong immune response, known as an allergic reaction, to certain substances that are generally harmless (such as pollen, dust mites, and foods), under the combined influence of genetic and environmental factors. Individuals with this constitution tend to have an immune system that easily misidentifies harmless substances as threats and attacks them, leading to allergic symptoms. Allergic constitution varies among individuals and often clusters within families. The symptoms are diverse and may include, but are not limited to, urticaria, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. The development of this constitution results from the interaction of multiple factors and warrants sufficient attention and concern.
