It is common in the United States for people to have food allergies and it is increasing. The body's negative reaction to a specific food protein is what is known to be a food allergy. The most common food allergies are milk and dairy products, egg and egg products, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy and soy products, and peanuts and tree nuts (Servsafe). Different food allergies develop in people at different times in their lives depending on the allergy and the person themselves. Fish and shellfish food allergies tend to not develop until adulthood. With fish approximately forty percent of people who were in a study on food allergies said that they did not have their first fish allergic reaction until they were an adult. With shellfish, about sixty percent of people had their first reaction when they were adults. Everyone to some extent is allergic to a type of food, but fish and shellfish food allergies are two of the most common and can possibly be the most dangerous out of all the food allergies. To help people with a shellfish and fish allergy to stay safe and healthy the rest of this essay will be focused on: basic information of fish and shellfish allergies, common symptoms of the allergies, what is anaphylaxis and how to treat it, and how to

About 17 to 18 million U.S. citizens (http://www.parentherald.com/articles/22242/20160222/oral-immunotherapy-reverse-children-s-food-allergies-100-percent-combined.htm) have allergies to at least one food. There is a 65 percent chance of tehir children inheriting their allergies. It is estimated that one-quarter of food allergic people will suffer an episode of anaphylaxis (http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2014fall/i-can-eat-it.html)

“The peanut is responsible for allergic reactions in both children and adults. Over the last several decades the incidence of peanut allergy in children has dramatically increased. Now, about 1% of children in the United States have peanut allergy. Peanut allergy is probably the most common cause of death from food anaphylaxis in the United States. Peanut allergy, unlike other food allergies, is rarely outgrown, with only about 20% of patients losing their sensitivity over time. Once a diagnosis has been made, peanuts should be treated with strict avoidance” (Lieberman & Anderson, 2007, pg

There are approximately 7 billion people living on planet Earth, 30% of this population has an allergy, and 250 million people suffer from food allergies specifically. Patrizia Marina, author of “Allergy: The Toxic Burden,” adds to this discovery by mentioning how this percentage is steadily increasing by 5% each year. Allergies are overlooked by the majority of the population. An allergy is more complex and severe than most people would assume. However, it is not the allergy we should be afraid of, it is the reaction the allergies can lead to. Allergic reactions can range from minor to deadly. There are crucial precautions that need to be taken in securing a known allergy and these precautions are becoming less essential

A food allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a specific food protein. When the food protein is ingested, in can trigger an allergic reaction that may include a range of symptoms from mild symptoms (rashes, hives, itching, swelling, etc.) to severe symptoms (trouble breathing, wheezing, loss of consciousness, etc.).

Allergies are very common and global chronic diseases which occurs when the people’s immune system overreacts a substance which is judged to be harmful to human body. It’s now becoming major public health problem in developed countries especially in Australia. In 2007, according to an ASCIA-Access Economics Report that 4.1 million Australians (19.6% of the population) had at least one allergic disease. Also specialists speculate if Australia’s ageing trend continues, there will be a 70% increase in the number of Australians with allergy, from 4.1 million in 2007 to 7.68 million by 2050 (26.1% of the population). In this article, three aspects which related to allergies in Australia will be discussed in turn: causes, symptoms

You find food you previously purchased on a regular basis for years is now making you or your family member ill and you feel worse when it is your child. You are now becoming an avid somewhat obsessive label reader. Processed and canned foods are contaminated with allergens. The fruit and vegetables are laced with soy wax and so now the conundrum.

Food allergies are abnormal immunological responses to a special food or food component . Two types of abnormal immunological responses can happen immediately and delayed reactions. Both are well documented to occur in certain individuals at ingestion of specific foods.recently These illnesses are spread and sometimes called individualistic reverse reactions to foods because they affect only certain individuals in the population.In addition ,Cause of food allergy enter hospital almost thirty thousand people to the emergency room, and up to a hundred to two hundred deaths each year (Taylor and Hefle. 2005).
