According to several studies and research conducted, histamine intolerance happens to 1% of the world population— 80% of which are of the middle-aged population group. However, because histamine intolerance is characterized by the same symptoms as common allergies, most physicians diagnose these intolerance cases as allergies. Hence, it is called a pseudo-allergy or “fake” allergy.
Histamine was discovered by Dale and Laidlaw in 1910. And in 1932, it was found to be a mediator of allergic reactions which may be deadly for some people with severe cases. Now, histamine is defined as a substance produced by our immune system which acts as a defense mechanism against external bodies that may harm you. It is also responsible for allergic reactions such as tearing up, sneezing, and itching. Hence, the production of antihistamines which stops these allergic reactions for the comfort of people with allergies.
