Allergies are defined as abnormal reactions to ordinarily harmless substances, like pollen or peanut butter. Reactions range from mildly uncomfortable (like a runny nose) to life-threatening (such as anaphylactic shock). The same allergy will affect different people to varying degrees.
Since allergic reactions are a function of the immune system, allergists often specialize in immunology. This specialty includes conditions related to the immune system, such as autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies and hypersensitivities.
There are a number of tests our allergists can perform to determine your specific condition and treatment, depending on your specific allergy and reaction. No matter what condition you may be facing, allergists who are a part of Mount Nittany Health will provide the expert care you need to feel your best.

Patients who receive immunotherapy, which typically involves a few years of treatment, can often gradually reduce or even discontinue use of other allergy medications.
