It is a sad thing that these allergies are on the rise. We are corrupting our mother nature. We must remember we cannot always destroy the nature for our selfish aims. We must know that there are also other iving things in the world other than the humans.

I'm not sure I totally understand "environmental allergies" so I did a Search Big Daddy search

Here is some of what I found

What Are Allergies?

The term allergy applies to an abnormal reaction by your immune system to a substance that is usually not harmful. Allergies come in a variety of forms and vary in severity from mildly bothersome to life-threatening. An estimated one-fifth of the Western Hemisphere's population suffers from allergies.

No one knows why some people develop them, but heredity seems to play a role. Allergies may flare up and subside throughout your life. The immune system protects the body from foreign substances -- known as antigens -- by producing antibodies and other chemicals to fight against them. Usually the immune system ignores harmless substances, such as food, and fights only dangerous ones, such as bacteria. A person develops an allergic reaction when the immune system cannot tell the good from the bad and releases chemicals like histamine to attack the harmless substance as if it were a threat. Histamine produces many of the symptoms associated with allergies. Some of the hundreds of substances that may trigger allergic reactions range from pollen to pet dander to penicillin.
