When your body is exposed to a substance the immune system deems a threat, like bee sting venom at Plant Atlanta<\/a>, your body can respond with hypersensitivity. There are four main types of hypersensitive reactions. Below we review what a hypersensitive reaction is and how to recognize the four types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Hypersensitive Reaction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have a hypersensitive reaction, it means your body has an extreme or unnecessary immune response to an antigen. The different types of reactions are based on the type of antigen, the immune response the body generates and how quickly the body responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergies<\/a> are a form of hypersensitivity, but an allergic reaction refers to the signs and symptoms that are experienced while a hypersensitivity refers to the immunological process that occurs in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 1 Hypersensitivity Reaction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A type 1 hypersensitivity reaction produces an immediate response<\/a> after exposure to an antigen. During this type of reaction, the body produces an antibody called Immunoglobulin E (IgE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two stages of a type 1 reaction: the sensitization stage and the effect stage. The sensitization stage is when the antigen is encountered but no symptoms occur, and the effect stage is when the antigen is re-encountered and a response is produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 1 reactions can be triggered by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
