Research Notes on Food Allergy Management
A food allergy is a response from the immune system which mistakenly thinks that the food in the body is harmful. Milk, peanuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, walnuts, cashews, wheat, and soy are the most common, accounting for 90% of all food allergies. Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction which comes on rapidly and can cause death. Below are some sites with information on ways to manage food allergies.
