What Is Peanut Allergy?

I first went with an article published back in 2009 which argues that most schools at the time were over reacting to peanut allergies. The article titled Have Americans Gone Nuts Over Nut Allergies? by Tiffany Sharples in Time magazine uses three extreme cases where schools over reacted to peanut allergies. One case the article discusses is that of a San Francisco school where the school nurse forced children to scrub their hand prior to entering the school and then confiscated packed lunches to remove any peanut based products. Another example was that of a Connecticut town that cut down three nut bearing trees because the grandmother of one student complained it posed a threat to her grandson who had a sever nut allergy. The author’s final example is a Massachusetts school bus that was evacuated because a stray peanut was found on the floor of the bus. These are excellent examples of how schools have over reacted to peanut allergies over the years. The author also uses two doctors to evaluate whether reactions like the ones described were over reactions. Both doctors did agree the instances were extreme but felt the public at large responds more reasonably. One doctor in the article suggest that reactions like these are caused by social spread of anxiety and over diagnosis. The author also mentions parents

The increased prevalence of food allergies in school children, the rapid onset of symptoms and potentially fatal nature of anaphylaxis, combined with the high risk of accidental exposure warrants significant action.

Contact with certain fields can be fatal for some children with allergies. This means that great care has to be taken and I system must be designed to vent children from coming into contact with their allergen (for example nuts or dairy products). Where the allergy is severe, this may affect the food that can be prepared and eating in the setting as some children can have a reaction just from being near other children who are eating food containing and allergen.

This was a rare day in my everyday life of being allergic to nuts and sesame seeds. Many people have heard about food allergies, but do not actually know what they are. A food allergy is when the immune system produces antibodies in defense against a substance that is actually not harmful to the body. There is no cure for food allergies yet, and the reaction can ultimately be life threatening. Dealing with an allergy is an everyday challenge that has forced me to become more aware of the food I eat. My family and I discovered my allergy at a young age, and one of the ways I manage it is by always

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 purpose of this study is to focus on an evidence based approach to reducing peanut allergies in children by introducing peanut based foods at an early age.

An 11-year-old boy has been brought to the ED by his teacher, who reports that the boy may be having a “really bad allergic reaction to peanuts” after trading lunches with a peer. The triage nurse’s rapid assessment reveals the presence of

I am Ms. Simpson and my child Ta’Quarius is in your classroom and I am emailing you to inform you that he’s allergic to peanuts, he cannot have anything with or made with peanuts. I have spoken with the school nurse and the administrators about this. So, I am reaching out to you because as a teacher myself, I know and understand that children do share things, I am hoping that his classmates will understand how important it is for them not to share any foods with him unless they bring it to your attention first before doing so. Ta’Quarius is not to have any type of foods that contains peanuts.

Thesis Statement: Peanut allergy, a type of allergy that is very common these days among children and which results in many deaths yearly, now might have a cure, and today I will talk about the peanut allergy and its symptoms and the new proposed cure for it.

In life I have always been plagued with questions about my peanut allergy. Every single person has their own ideas on what would happen to a person with a peanut allergy and I am here to set things straight. I cannot say how many times I am asked, “what happens when you touch a peanut?” When a person with a peanut allergy comes in contact with peanuts, they do not immediately puff up like they do in “Meet the Robinsons,” nor do they swell to almost triple their size. The reaction, called Anaphylaxis, could happen in minutes or it could take up to four hours for the reaction to appear (Murphy). I hear so many stories about how peanut oil will start a reaction, and that is only true in some cases. Pure refined peanut oil cannot cause a reaction to a person with a peanut allergy, the proteins in the peanuts that cause the reaction have been stripped away (Murphy). I am always warned whenever

Food, food is something that we as human beings live off of. But not everybody is as fortunate as others, nowadays food allergies occur in 1 out of every 13 children. This indicates fifteen plus million people have food allergies. This epidemic poses a threat to many citizens that live with food allergies because of the incorrect labeling, distribution and safety of food products. The research provided is to show one, what food allergies are and how they affect daily life of those who live with food allergies. Food allergies are extremely important and educating people about food allergies will hopefully quick start the progress to find a cure.

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

Peanut allergy is one of the most common allergy-causing foods. Peanuts aren’t actually a true nut, but people are allergic to peanuts because the protein in a peanut is similar to a tree nut. This allergy can sometimes be a life threatening reaction, even a small amount of peanuts can cause a serious reaction. Many schools have a nut-free school because of how many children are allergic to peanuts. Some kids with any peanut in the room can break out in a reaction. Parents have to watch kids in and out of school, what they ear and how much. There are a lot of symptoms to peanut allergies. Some can get itchy skin, hives, swollen lips, tongue, face, or limbs, tightness in throat. You can also get diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, runny nose, shortness of breath, and wheezing.

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).

If anyone notices that a child develops symptoms after being exposed to certain foods, then the child should avoid such foods. The most common foods that can cause allergies include: peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), fish, shellfish, eggs (especially egg whites), milk, soy, and wheat. Keeping a diary for a few weeks and recording what foods a child has been eating, especially new foods, and when they develop symptoms may help figure out what they are allergic to. This is often what professionals encourage families to do to get to the true cause of what is making them so ill. Once it has been determined what a child is allergic to, it is important to learn to read food labels because the food a child is allergic to may be an ingredient of many other foods.
