Food allergies in children are widely prevalent in the US.
It's more likely that kids develop allergies, in the first 3 years of their life.
There seems to be about 8 food items, which include those of both plant and animal source, that are to blame for creating nearly all food allergy symptoms, Specifically peanuts and tree nuts, wheat or grain, soy products, cows' milk, egg, shellfish, and seafood.
The food items that grown ups or kids react to are those ingredients they consume frequently.
For kids that have had a serious food reaction, your child's doctor might recommend an emergency kit which contains epinephrine (called EpiPens), which will help stop the signs and symptoms of serious reactions.
Even a very small quantity of the allergy-causing foods can induce warning signs like digestive complications, hives or inflamed breathing passages.
The signs of a hypersensitive reaction to foods can range from tingling around the mouth, to stomach cramping, to lack of breath and, most severely, shock.
As well as steering clear of what you believe your son or daughter might be hypersensitive to, kids with more serious allergic reactions need to be examined by their Doctor or a specialist.
After you explain to the parents of a child that has a food hypersensitivity that their son or daughter could suffer, end up in a health care facility or even worse unless they stick to strict directions from the physician, you start to be aware of why moms and dads of kids with food allergies are so cautious.
Extreme allergy symptoms aren't anything to fool around with! Serious food allergies can be a real matter of life and death.
For those who have a serious allergy, always have EpiPens and some form of kid's allergy alert bracelets or necklace with them at all times.
Peanut hypersensitivity can impact people of all ages and is among the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis death in the us.
Moms and dads, babysitters, school nursing staff and camp counselors should have two epinephrine pens convenient and know how to use them for each and every youngster susceptible to anaphylaxis.
