Allergy specialists identify and treat immune system reactions triggered by substances such as pollen, food, dust mites, insect stings, and medications.

Yes, adult-onset allergies are common. Hormonal changes, relocation to a new environment, repeated exposure to an allergen, or changes in the immune system can trigger new allergic responses at any age.
