Most of these reactions are mild and can be treated at home. While first time exposure may only produce a mild reaction, repeated exposures may lead to more serious reactions.
Allergic reactions vary.
They can be mild or serious. They can be confined to a small area of the body or affect the entire body. Most occur within seconds or minutes after exposure to the allergen, but some can occur after days or weeks.
