    People who have dust allergies are familiar with sneezing—but sneezing isn’t the only uncomfortable symptom.

    Insect Sting Allergy

    Stings from five insects - honeybees, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets and fire ants - are known to cause allergic reactions to the venom injected into the skin.

    Pet Allergies

    Eye Allergy

    Learn about eye allergies, a condition that affects millions of Americans.

    Drug Allergies

    If you develop a rash, hives or difficulty breathing after taking certain medications, you may have a drug allergy.

    Latex Allergy

    Allergic reactions to latex may be serious and can very rarely be fatal. If you have latex allergy you should limit or avoid future exposure to latex products.
