Definition(s)

  • An allergen is any substance that, if ingested, can cause an allergic reaction—a hypersensitive state that stimulates the production of reaginic antibodies, and which may have sometimes severely negative medical impacts upon the individual. Allergens include viruses and bacteria, dust, pollen and smoke particles that may be inhaled, foodstuffs, and chemicals. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Allergen]
