Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allergies are caused by the production of the immunoglobulin IgE in response to allergens.

Answer: None of the other choices are true. 
 Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that occurs after repeated exposure to an allergen, not the first exposure. The allergic response is not a normal, healthy, or adaptive immune response. Allergies can occur in anyone, regardless of their response to intestinal worms.
