gives signals or symptoms such as cold and mucus production.

enters your body, your immune system will produce antibody that is called
IgE (Immunoglobulin E). IgE in huge quantity will trigger a reaction :
release of a chemical substance called histamine. After your lungs
released histamine, your airways will get stretched, mucus production will
increase, and … you got asthma.
