Allergies are an immune system reaction to substances that don't harm most people. This can include pollens, dust, foods, cosmetics, and such. The body produces antibodies to neutralize the foreign substance, which triggers the release of histamine, which produces what we see as allergies or Asthma. the symptoms of allergies can vary from; a runny nose, itchy eyes, itchy palate; rash, sneezing, hives and naseau.
Treatment can work on any part of the process: avoiding the allergen, reducing the production of histamines, etc. Allergies should be taken seriously; most allergic reactions are merely annoying but some can lead to sinus infections or in extreme cases they can be life threatening. Making it important for you to treat your allergies.

When the term allergy was coined, it referred to a broad category of adverse reactions to substances. Today, allergy specifically refers to an immunologic interaction between an allergen and an antibody. Other adverse reactions are now typically referred to as intolerances.
It also causes breathing to stop if it is that serious like I have.

Are the hives serious?
Not usually just an allergic reaction but you have to try to find allergin or will get more and or not go away. Eveyone just about has had it somewhere at one time or another past a certain age.

Is a labradoodle a good pet?
The term "labradoodle" is a contraction of two breeds used to create them: the Labrador Retriever and the Standard Poodle. The term was coined by Wally Conron in 1989 when he first intentionally crossed the two breeds in an attempt to produce a dog with reduced allergens that could be trained to guide the blind. Conron was a breeder for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia at the time. The Association continued its experimentation with the cross but eventually abandoned the project because only 35% were successful in going on to become guide dogs and few of those were actually low allergin producers. The last dog in this program was bred in 1996.However, by the time the Association got out of the labradoodle business the idea had caught on. There are now two distinctive types of labradoodle: First generaltion crosses of poodles and labradors, and the Australian Labradoodle which is starting to breed true (breeding two sixth-generation labradoodles together to produce another labradoodle). The foundation dogs of the Australian Labradoodle are the Labrador Retriever, the Standard Poodle, and the Cocker Spaniel. The Australian Labradoodle is pedigreed and registered with the Australian Labradoodle Association (ALA).First generation crosses are still considered mixed-breed dogs, despite the designer name because they cannot breed true. In other words, when you breed a first generation labradoodle to another first generation labradoodle, there's no predicting what will result. Will it get more labrador genes or more poodle genes, and which ones?Sixth generation dogs (and above) are breeding true to produce true pure-bred Labradoodle dogs. When a registered labradoodle is bred to another registered labradoodle the resulting progeny no longer show dominant characteristics of one or the other of the foundation breeds.Other contributors have said:Labradoodles are a mix between a Labrador and a Poodle. Mixed breed. They were bred in Australia for blind people as the Labrador is an excellent guide dog and the poodle seldom moults, so blind people very rarely get dog hairs in their mouths now.
