Reply to comment by CrazyisNSFW in Why do some allergies get worse over time and some better? And how does allergen desensitivity work without making the reaction worse? by DontDoDrugs316
You definitely do react to allergy shots. The first shots gave me giant welts on the underside of my arm. But you take antihistamine with it, and the reaction doesn’t turn into an over-reaction. It’s a very specific dosing regimen (injected into a specific spot) to ensure that the immune system can see it, but not overreact. That’s the level at which the immune system starts to slowly see it as normal and non-threatening.

You're right. For some, the reaction is mild, but for some others it can be dangerous. That's why it requires close medical supervision, in case something goes wrong.
