Food allergies involve your immune system which can sometimes get confused and react to the proteins in certain foods &#8211; mistakenly thinking they are dangerous, which starts an immune response. Some people can also react to foods if they have a pollen allergy (hay fever). This is because their body can confuse the proteins in pollen with the proteins in certain foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What types of food are people usually allergic to?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common food allergies include peanuts, tree nuts such as walnuts and cashews, eggs, cow\u2019s milk, seafood, soy, and wheat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What are the symptoms of a food allergy?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually, the symptoms of food allergy appear quickly \u2013 within seconds or minutes. But they can take up to a few hours to develop. Some of the symptoms of food allergy include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wheezing or breathing difficulties\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">itchy red patches on the skin (hives)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">itching or tingling in your mouth\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">feeling sick\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dizziness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stomach pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction,\u00a0 which can lead to a sharp drop in blood pressure and possible cardiovascular collapse; the airways can become constricted due to swelling, making it difficult to breathe; and multiple organs can fail.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1289354\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1289354\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1289354\" src=\"https:\/\/caxtondigital.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2024\/06\/ElanaWagner-10-06-2024-Health-Allergies.1_-420x254.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"254\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1289354\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue background with various plates of food.

Remember to check non-food items too \u2013 such as skincare or even cleaning products, as these can sometimes include allergens too.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your doctor may also recommend having emergency treatments ready to use if needed. This can include an Epi-pen (adrenaline autoinjector) for people with severe reactions such as anaphylaxis. For those with severe food allergies, wearing an allergy alert bracelet is a good idea, and teaching family and friends how to use an Epi-pen safely is also recommended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information and advice, reach out to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergyfoundation.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allergy Foundation of South Africa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food allergy is everywhere, and everyone should know what food allergy is.
