Solution

Ruma is exhibiting strong, unusual hypersensitive reactions when exposed to certain airborne substances, a condition known as Allergy. The cells responsible for such hypersensitive allergic reactions are Mast cells. These allergic reactions occur because allergens trigger the mast cells to release histamine and similar substances, leading to the symptoms of allergy.
