Allergies

Fancy a nice peanut-butter-and-strawberry sandwich, sprinkled with assorted bee stings? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby teach you all about allergies: what they are, how they work, and why they make you so uncomfortable. In this educational, animated movie you’ll learn about some common allergens, and how they get inside your body. You’ll also discover the function of your body’s immune system, and what happens to it when you have an allergic reaction - from the antigens that trigger your immune response to the antibodies that surround the invading matter. You’ll also find out about histamine, the substance that carries those antibodies where they need to go, but makes you all itchy and uncomfortable in the process. Plus, you’ll get to see how doctors determine whether or not you have allergies. This movie’s nothing to sneeze at!
