I also found more information on the subject and it turns out there are four types of hypersensitivity:immediate, antibody mediated, immune complex mediated (an immune complex is the combination of antibodies and antigens) , and delayed hypersensitvity. The allegeric reaction that Kris experienced was a delayed hypersensitivity that is usally related to the exposure of dyes, chemicals, or metals ; this type of hypersensitivity is also used when a tuberculin test is performed. Check out the website ; it also explains how other animals besides the mouse could have allergies: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2141&aid=146 Your blog is very interesting, especially for me since I happen to have a peanut allergy.

Congratulations to Mrs. Baker's students on your very cool blog. This one is especially interesting to me because I've had allergies since I was around 10 years old. I don't have any food allergies, but I do have an example of an unusual allergic reaction. I had a serious reaction to hair dye when I was in high school and had to go to the hospital for almost a week. It just goes to show that you can become allergic to anything.
