Allergic reactions can persist for extended periods after allergen exposure
Allergic reactions frequently manifest as prolonged or chronic conditions, driven by late-phase inflammatory responses and immune memory that persist well beyond initial allergen exposure.
The claim states that allergic reactions can persist for extended periods after allergen exposure. Multiple retrieved papers, such as those on chronic allergic contact dermatitis, late-phase ocular and nasal reactions, and inflammatory memory in asthma, explicitly confirm that allergic inflammation and symptoms can endure long after the initial exposure.
