Allergic reactions 

are hyperactive responses of the immune system to generally innocuous


substances. When immune cells encounter the allergenic protein, IgE antibodies are produced; this
is similar to the immune system's reaction to foreign pathogens. The IgE antibodies identify the
allergenic proteins as harmful and initiate the allergic reaction.
