They are often viruses‚ bacteria‚ or fungi‚ but can sometimes be dust‚ chemicals‚ pollen‚ or food proteins that cause allergic reactions. (Antigens that cause allergic reactions are called allergens). An epitope is the part of the antigen to which the antibody binds. Once the immune system has created and antibody for an antigen whose

in plants can be found in the nucleus‚ in chloroplasts and in mitochondria. The mutation can take place in a leaf bud during mitose (a somatic mutation) resulting usually in a change in part of an organism. A mutation in the flower during meiose (pollen or egg cell formation) leads to a change in the whole plant (usually visible only in the second generation). Mutations can also be divided into two types: nuclear mutations that inherit via both parents‚ and cytoplasmic mutations i.e.‚ in the DNA

My inspiration for drawing this actual came to me when I was outside and I am allergic to pollen‚ so I did some weird as usual‚ and thought if I looked at the sun it would help but it just made it worst. So then I thought hey‚ it’s a pretty day and what better than to make a sun drawing out of triangles. So after that the rest is history. I tried

Nicole has had recent allergy testing demonstrating significant sensitisation to dust mite‚ pollens and animal mix and less so to moulds. I note she was desensitised a number of years ago to what she believes was rye grass and dust mite with some improvement but symptoms have increased over time. She may well benefit from another round of desensitisation
