When you come in contact with an allergy trigger, your body releases the chemical histamine. This causes allergy symptoms. Other symptoms include cough, sore throat, puffy eyes, tiredness, and headache. Tell your doctor if you notice allergy symptoms.</div></div></div><div id="quiz_slides_3" class="quiz_slides fade"><div tabIndex="0" class="quiz_content" id="quiz_content_183"><h4 class="question">What else can cause allergy symptoms in some people?</h4><ul class="answer_choice_list" id="answer_choice_list"><li id="answer_choice_596" tabIndex="-1" class="answer_choice"><input aria-label="A.

It's not always easy to know what is causing allergy symptoms. If you start sneezing and your nose runs, write down what you were doing when symptoms started. Learning what causes your symptoms can help you avoid allergy triggers.</div></div></div><div id="quiz_slides_4" class="quiz_slides fade"><div tabIndex="0" class="quiz_content" id="quiz_content_184"><h4 class="question">Your doctor can do tests to find out what causes your allergies.</h4><ul class="answer_choice_list" id="answer_choice_list"><li id="answer_choice_601" tabIndex="-1" class="answer_choice"><input aria-label="A.

A small amount of a possible allergy trigger is placed on your skin. Then the skin is gently pricked to allow it to go under the skin. If you have swelling or redness, you are allergic.</div></div></div><div id="quiz_slides_5" class="quiz_slides fade"><div tabIndex="0" class="quiz_content" id="quiz_content_185"><h4 class="question">What can you do to avoid allergy triggers?</h4><ul class="answer_choice_list" id="answer_choice_list"><li id="answer_choice_603" tabIndex="-1" class="answer_choice"><input aria-label="A.
