Allergies are among the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranks allergy as the third most common chronic disease among children.

Allergy symptoms can be caused by an interaction with airborne particles such as pollen or animal dander, particular foods or medications, or contact with other stimuli. Reactions can range from mild discomfort such a runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing or sneezing, to a life-threatening emergency.

• Allergy testing, including blood, skin, nasal and challenge testing
