Causes Allergy?

Allergy occurs when the body's immune system struggles with substances found in the environment, known as allergens or allergens, which are considered harmless.

These innocent substances become the target of the immune system, causing allergic reactions.

Symptoms of an allergic reaction include redness of the skin, itching, blistering, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and anaphylactic shock.

Foods that cause the most allergic reactions in children include:

Milk
Egg
Peanut
Nuts growing on trees (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, Brazil walnuts, pecan nuts)
Sesame
The fish
Shellfish,

Where do food allergies occur most?

The incidence of food allergies has increased in the last 30 years, especially in industrialized societies.

The exact magnitude of this increase varies depending on the food and where the patient lives.

It is not enough to explain the increase in the incidence of allergies only by increasing the awareness of the society and improving the diagnostic processes.

It is thought that there are environmental reasons behind the increased sensitivity to allergies and food, and this is linked to the Western lifestyle.

Studies show that the incidence of allergy in developing countries is low. Allergies are more likely to occur in the city than in the countryside.

Possible reasons contributing to this include air pollution, altered eating habits, and less exposure to microbes that alter responses to the immune system.

It is seen that migrants develop asthma and food allergy in countries where they migrate instead of their own. This further emphasizes the importance of environmental factors
