Simple and clear video which shows the response of the immune system to an allergy reaction with the release of histamine. Educational for kids and adults alike. Does not show the progression of the reaction i.e how the release of histamine leads to asthma or skin reactions.
Although simply illustrated, this animation is a great example of how visuals can help clarify a particular subject.
This is a quick and easy to understand animation of what happens in the cells of our bodies during an allergic reaction. Sometimes a visual can make things easier to understand. I really thought this was a great illustration.
