Allergy is not a disease itself, but a reaction of organism leading to a disease.
Allergic diseases affect over 30% of the population with variable severity based upon allergen exposure and the degree of hypersensitivity.
Allergy often starts in the first three months of life but very rarely at birth, although there is a strong genetic background.
Allergy in some cases does not persist over lifetime; it starts and some patients may out grow their allergic disease spontaneously.
