Food Allergies
Food allergies are immune responses to specific foods that the body mistakenly identifies as harmful. When exposed to allergenic foods, individuals may experience symptoms like hives, swelling, itching, or more severe reactions like anaphylaxis. Common allergens include nuts, shellfish, eggs, and dairy. Avoidance of trigger foods and carrying epinephrine (in severe cases) are important measures to manage food allergies and prevent potentially life-threatening reactions.
