Allergies are hypersensitive immune responses to typically harmless substances known as allergens. The prevalence of allergic diseases has been rising, particularly in developed countries, prompting extensive research into the underlying causes and mechanisms. This synthesis aims to consolidate key insights from multiple research papers to address the question: Why do we have allergies?

Evolutionary Perspective:
Allergies result from a combination of environmental, genetic, immunological, and possibly evolutionary factors. Changes in lifestyle and reduced microbial exposure play significant roles in the increasing prevalence of allergies. The immune system's inappropriate response to harmless substances, influenced by genetic predispositions and alterations in microbiota, underpins the development of allergic diseases. Understanding these multifaceted causes is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.
