Can Environmental Toxins Trigger IgE-mediated Reactions?
Yes, environmental toxins can trigger IgE-mediated reactions. Pollutants, industrial chemicals, and even certain food additives can act as allergens. In sensitive individuals, exposure to these substances can lead to an increase in IgE production and subsequent allergic reactions. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate the impact of environmental toxins on public health.
