common forms of allergies

The number of people impacted by food allergies has been on the rise.

Some of the more common forms of allergies are:

Asthma is a widespread situation affecting millions of people. It is mainly recognized by shortness of breath, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. An attack can be triggered by exercise, stress, pollen, as well as many other common pollutants in the air.

Hay Fever is a seasonal allergy triggered by tree, weed, and grass pollens.

Food allergies

One of the most common forms of food allergies is peanuts - identified in many foods as 'hydrolysed vegetable protein'.

Other common allergies are eggs and shellfish.

Nearly all persons who are allergic to eggs are reacting to the proteins in egg whites. A lesser number react to proteins in the yolk as well.

If you're lucky, your physician may be able to determine the specific type of shellfish that is causing your allergies. If not, you may need to stay away from all shellfish.

Lesser forms of food allergies are soy, milk, and wheat. Milk intolerance is often confused with a milk allergy.

Allergies are often hereditary, so if you have them, your children are likely to have them also. The good news is that in most cases children outgrow their allergies.
