An allergic reaction may increase the number of what?

Asked by lray252

Answer (3)

An allergic reaction in the body can increase the percentage of Eosinophils that is present in the blood. Any normal human blood contains about 1% to 2% of the total number of White Blood Corpuscles (WBC). During an allergy the percentage can go to as high as 20% to 30% of WBC present. Eosinophils are actually specialized type of blood cells that react by increasing during any allergic reactions in the body. Eosinophils also increase during any parasitic infection in the stomach.

Allergic reactions can significantly increase the number of eosinophils in the bloodstream. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, and their levels can rise from a normal range of 1-4% up to 20-30% during an allergy. This increase is linked to the immune system's response to allergens, leading to inflammation and other allergic symptoms.
