About 250 million people have food allergies, peanut allergies have a high mortality rate

All of these substances that can cause allergies in humans are called allergens.

For allergies to occur, two basic conditions are required: allergic constitution + corresponding allergens.

Allergies are simply the overreaction of the body's immune system to an otherwise harmless substance.

Like what:

● The immune system of the non-allergic body meets peanuts - "Ahhhh

● Allergic body's immune system meets peanuts - "High energy ahead! The enemy is coming! The whole army is attacking!"

In fact, there are not a few people who have food allergies, and if they have severe allergy symptoms, they may go into shock due to breathing obstruction.

According to the World Health Organization, about one in four people in the world suffer from allergic diseases, of which food-related allergies account for a large proportion, and the number of people is increasing year by year.

Data shows that about 30%-40% of the world's people are plagued by various allergies, of which about 250 million people have food allergies.

According to statistics, one in every 20 children worldwide has a food allergy, and the ratio of food allergies among adults is 50:1, and the main allergens include seafood, milk and eggs in addition to peanuts.

Peanuts, as one of the important food allergens, can cause extremely severe allergic symptoms, and in severe cases, shock may occur due to obstructed breathing.

Statistics show that 90% of deaths due to food allergies are caused by peanuts. In the UK, 1 in 200 people are allergic to peanuts. Some people can have a severe allergic reaction if they eat even very small amounts of peanuts or peanut oil.

What foods can cause allergies? In terms of quantity, there are hundreds of foods that can cause allergies. However, the following foods are highly allergenic and are more likely to cause allergies in the human body, so we must pay attention to them.

■ Milk and eggsMilk and eggs are the foods that are most likely to cause allergies in young children. Allergic reactions are not only manifested on the skin, but may also be accompanied by adverse symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. ■ Seafood and seafood are relatively common allergies for children and adults, especially fresh seafood is more likely to induce allergies. ■ The number of people allergic to sesame seeds and peanuts in oil crops is not as high as that of milk and eggs, but it can cause severe anaphylactic shock and even death. ■ Allergic reactions to wheat and cereals occur in a small percentage of people, mainly in adolescents and adults after the age of 10. Any food product can cause an allergic reaction because everyone's constitution is different. ■ People who are allergic to strawberries and peaches (mostly fluffy on the surface) will experience symptoms such as erythema, itching, and hives all over the body after eating strawberries or peaches. ■ People who are allergic to pineapple may experience itchy skin, flushing, numbness in the limbs, mouth and tongue after eating pineapple for 15 minutes to 1 hour, and in severe cases, symptoms such as dyspnea and shock.

What are the symptoms of food allergies?

1. Skin symptoms

Symptoms of food allergies are most likely to manifest on the skin, such as skin flushing, itching, congestion, urticaria, and angioedema.

2. Gastro-inflaral symptoms

Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping and diarrhea are also common after food allergies.

3. Neurological symptoms

Who should be wary of food allergies?

1. Allergic peopleAllergic people are prone to allergic reactions, so they need to pay more attention to their diet and avoid contact with allergens in their daily life. 2. People with a family history of allergies have a certain hereditary nature of allergies, and one or both parents have a history of allergies, and the prevalence of their children is higher than that of ordinary people. 3. The incidence of allergies in infants and children is higher than that in adults, and the age of 4-6 months is the highest incidence of food allergies.

At present, there is no cure for allergies, but it is possible to reduce the occurrence of allergies or alleviate the symptoms of allergies by paying attention to diet and improving immunity. Food allergies can be effectively prevented by doing the following:

1. Get screened for allergens

People who are prone to allergies should take the initiative to go to relevant medical institutions for food allergen screening, avoid contact with allergens that cause allergies, and follow the medical advice of their doctors.

2. Do not eat foods that contain allergens

Do not eat foods containing allergens, and pay attention to the allergen label before buying food.

3. Balanced nutrition and proper exercise

Pay attention to dietary nutrition, supplement enough protein, vitamins and other substances, and carry out appropriate physical exercise to improve your own immunity.

There is currently no effective treatment for food allergies. Once a food allergy is diagnosed, the best treatment is to actively avoid the food and any other foods that contain it.

The doctor reminds that once you find that you have "signs" of food allergies, you must see a doctor in time to check for allergens, etc., to avoid serious allergic reactions.
