I've actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies, so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs, I just can't let allergies slow me down. It's a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication.

Allergy refers to a medical issue involving immune response, not just any dislike or discomfort.

Medical Condition

Some allergies can lead to life-threatening situations, so it's a serious word, not to be used lightly.

Serious Reactions

An allergy usually has a specific cause, like certain foods, animals, or materials.

Specific Triggers

In informal speech, 'allergy' can express strong dislike, but it's not a physical reaction.

Colloquial Use

People often exaggerate by claiming an 'allergy' to everyday tasks they strongly dislike.

Hyperbole

Although used casually, remember that real allergies are serious and not to be mocked.

Not a Joke
