An allergy or allergic reaction referred to a body's inappropriate immune response to various stimuli, usually proteins.

The body's responses could be minimal, but could also include anaphylactic shock or even death. Allergies often had a genetic basis. They could be present from birth or could present themselves at any later point during a lifetime.

In 2369, Odo told Quark that "the something" in Jadzia Dax's eye was an allergic reaction to him. (DS9: "The Passenger")

Later that year Julian Bashir thought he had taken an allergic reaction to replicated antipasto and was hallucinating an affectionate Jadzia Dax. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")

When Elim Garak made Odo a Bajoran Militia uniform in late 2372, he asked him if he was allergic to Inkarian wool. (DS9: "Broken Link")
