Allergic asthma is the display of asthma symptoms as a part of an allergic reaction. Inadvertent inhalation of allergens or ingestion of food proteins can trigger some people’s immune system to overreact and IgE to bind to mast cells. IgE then causes the mast cells to release chemicals known as inflammatory mediators. These are responsible for the swelling that often accompanies allergic reactions and includes histamine, leukotriene, and prostaglandin.
