intolerances
Bodies rejecting substances
Intolerances are things a person cannot tolerate.
The word usually appears in medical contexts, where an intolerance is an inability to digest or process certain substances without adverse effects: food intolerances, lactose intolerance.
Unlike allergies, intolerances typically cause discomfort rather than immune reactions.
The word also covers inability to accept differing views or practices: religious intolerances, political intolerances.
