Anything that will cause an allergy is considered an allergen.
"pollens, molds, insect stings, household dust mites, animal dander, foods, medications" are the most common.

anything that causes an allergic reaction. If your body reacts in a certain negative way, when in contact with a specific substance, its called allergy and the causative substance becomes the allergen. For example pollen, dust, animal hair, sometimes even sunlight.

An allergen is anything that cause you to get inflammed, bloated, irritated, and also set off a chain of reactions that can be uncontrollable.
Allergens can come from the food that you eat, the detergent that you use, the chemicals in your perfume, dustmites in your environment, etc.
