Immunoglobulin E causes hypersensitivity. Cause of the allergy or the allergen has to be eliminated. Food allergy is an important contributing factor.
Eggs, corn, shell fish, milk, wheat and fish are the culprits. It helps in fighting infection of parasites, such as tapeworm and blood fluke. Entry of any undesired substance, such as pollen or dander of pets, instigates the synthesis of Ig E, by B cells. Mast cells are seen to occur in the gut, skin and lungs. IgE is bound with the mast cells. When two such compounds come in contact with each other, it results in sneezing, rashes and hay fever. For symptoms, causes and home remedies for hay fever, visit,
