An allergy is a hypersensitivity to substances that are essentially harmless. For as yet poorly
understood reasons, the immune system malfunctions and marshals up an army of antibodies
to fight these substances. For many allergies, this malfunction causes a large amount of
histamine to flood into the bloodstream. It is overabundance of histamine that causes allergic
symptoms such as headaches, rashes, and sneezing. the passage states all of the following
about allergies except - ANS-medical science does not fully understand why the body has an
allergic reaction to certain substances
