Allergy

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. 

Later that year Julian Bashir thought he had taken an allergic reaction to replicated antipasto and was hallucinating an affectionate Jadzia Dax. 

When Elim Garak made Odo a Bajoran Militia uniform in late 2372, he asked him if he was allergic to Inkarian wool.
