To answer:
The different hypersensitive reactions.
Concept introduction:
Hypersensitivity is the body’s defense mechanism to an allergen, autoimmunity, and venom. The allergen can be of pollen, mold, and chemicals. Poison ivy and bee-stings inject venom into the body. There are totally four types of hypersensitivity depending on the state of the allergen.
