Some insects that create allergic reactions include mosquitos, bedbugs, fleas and hornets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two people may have the same type of allergy with completely different symptoms. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/procedure\/anaphylaxis-allergy-1647\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visiting a specialist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great first step to diagnosing conditions and avoiding future reactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cow\u2019s milk<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An estimated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9046619\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.7% of the U.S. population<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is currently allergic to cow\u2019s milk. Cow milk contains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecarf.org\/en\/information-portal\/allergies-overview\/cows-milk-allergy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high levels of proteins like casein and whey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can increase your likelihood of a reaction. By contrast, goat milk contains lower levels of the same proteins. Natural nut-based milks do not contain those proteins at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people experience symptoms <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/conditionsandtreatments\/cows-milk-allergy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">within five minutes of consuming cow\u2019s milk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Symptoms can include coughing, red or itchy skin, and vomiting. Eczema and asthma can linger days after your initial exposure, even after other symptoms subside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoidance is the primary strategy for overcoming cow\u2019s milk allergies. Visit your primary care provider if you experience symptoms. Allergists often prescribe <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5647979\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">immunotherapy for patients with persistent reactions to cow\u2019s milk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Eggs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As many as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodallergy.org\/living-food-allergies\/food-allergy-essentials\/common-allergens\/egg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2% of children are allergic to eggs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 though <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3959659\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50% outgrow the allergy by age six<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Others will continue the allergy for the rest of their adult lives. Eggs can have a gastrointestinal effect on people with allergies. Symptoms sometimes include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/conditionsandtreatments\/egg-allergy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nausea and diarrhea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In other cases, adults primarily experience oral symptoms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anaphylaxis.org.uk\/fact-sheet\/egg-allergy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lip swelling and a tingling mouth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to avoid these symptoms is to avoid egg products. When consuming unfamiliar food, ask if any dishes contain egg protein. Consult a health professional if you experience symptoms and carry an EpiPen if you know your symptoms are life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Fish<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While less common than other allergy types, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecarf.org\/en\/information-portal\/allergies-overview\/fish-allergy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fish allergies are often more serious<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s also an allergy type that affects people later in life. An estimated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodallergy.org\/living-food-allergies\/food-allergy-essentials\/common-allergens\/fish\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40% of people with fish allergies first had a reaction as an adult<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuna and salmon \u2014 the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrafish.com\/markets\/here-are-americas-most-consumed-seafood-species\/2-1-760884\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">two most popular fish consumed in the United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 are both common allergens. Symptoms include hives, swelling and eventual anaphylaxis without medical help. Other common fish allergies include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodallergyawareness.org\/food-allergy-and-anaphylaxis\/food-allergens\/fish\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cod, trout and halibut<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Peanuts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An estimated<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slhd.nsw.gov.au\/rpa\/allergy\/resources\/allergy\/peanutallergy.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2% of children, and 0.5% of adults<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, develop a peanut allergy. As an allergen, peanuts are also the most common cause of anaphylaxis. Sensitivity to peanuts can develop as an infant via breast milk, or through exposure to ingredients with peanuts or peanut oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peanut and tree nut allergies are distinct from one another. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/heart-health\/legume-of-the-month-peanuts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peanuts are actually legumes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and grow underground, while tree nuts are harvested from trees. An allergy to peanuts does not guarantee a reaction to tree nuts, and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virginia peanuts, Spanish peanuts and Runner-type peanuts are all capable of causing allergic reactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Shellfish<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5306157\/%5C\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shellfish allergies affect 6.5 million Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, making them twice as common as peanut allergies. Many people are only allergic to crustaceans like shrimp and lobster. Others only react to mollusks like clams and oysters. After testing, some people discover they are allergic to both types of shellfish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of shellfish allergies include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/health.ucdavis.edu\/news\/headlines\/what-you-need-to-know-about-shellfish-allergy-diagnosis-treatment\/2022\/10\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">throat itching, puffy eyes and stomach pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If not addressed with an EpiPen or a medical professional, symptoms can quickly progress to include trouble breathing and full anaphylaxis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Soy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like peanuts and pinto beans, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/10479216\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soy is a legume<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is commonly used in products like soy sauce and soy milk that bear its name. Soy is also found in many brands of tofu, crackers, and cereals. Soy allergies are rare, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/diagnostic-education\/hcp\/us\/en\/allergy\/food-allergies-diagnosis-treatment\/soy-allergy-diagnosis-treatment.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found in only 0.4% of children<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. 70% of those children are likely to outgrow the allergy by age 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/soy-allergy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hives, dizziness and nausea often characterize a soy allergy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Many cases of soy allergy are mild, though they can grow serious without the help of a medical professional. People with soy allergies should consider foods with alternative ingredients. For example, replace tofu with chickpeas or soy sauce with coconut aminos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tree nuts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike peanuts, classified in the legume family, tree nuts are actually a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/wildflowers\/ethnobotany\/food\/nuts.shtml\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">type of single-seeded fruit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While people can be allergic to both food items, the conditions are unrelated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some common types of tree nuts that can trigger allergic reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almonds;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cashews;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pine nuts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pistachios;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walnuts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macadamia nuts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hazelnuts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some food manufacturers use tree nuts as an ingredient or package foods in a plant that also packages tree nuts. If you\u2019re allergic to one or more tree nuts, it\u2019s important to read labels before consuming packaged foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wheat\/Gluten<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people with a wheat allergy experience symptoms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/174405\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">constipation, diarrhea or bloating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Wheat allergies can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4476871\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trigger underlying medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (IBS).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These same symptoms can also lead to Celiac disease concerns. A harsher form of wheat allergy, Celiac disease <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/celiac.org\/about-celiac-disease\/what-is-celiac-disease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">damages the small intestine and compromises nutrient absorption<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoidance is the best solution for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5677194\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6% of the U.S. population<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that has a wheat allergy. This is sometimes a challenge since wheat is common in many popular food types. Work alongside a dietician to develop a meal plan for avoiding wheat and meeting all other nutritional requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wait to get help if you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/guides\/10-signs-youve-developed-a-food-allergy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suspect that you or a loved one has developed a food allergy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
