Know More About Food 
Allergies
If you have a food allergy, your immune system overreacts to a specific protein found in that food. Many food  
allergies are diagnosed in young children, though they may also appear in older children and adults. Many 
people  with environmental allergies also have food allergies. Food allergy reactions can be life-threatening, and 
can come  on suddenly, usually within minutes to a couple of hours after eating the trigger food. Symptoms of a 
food allergy  can include:
Hives or red, itchy skin
Stuffy or itchy nose, sneezing or itchy, teary 
eyes  Vomiting, stomach cramps or diarrhea  
Angioedema or swelling
In some cases, food allergy can cause a severe 
allergic  reaction known as anaphylaxis. Signs 
include:
Hoarseness, throat tightness or a lump in the 
throat  Wheezing, chest tightness or trouble 
breathing  Tingling in the hands, feet, lips or scalp
Know More About Seasonal 
Allergies
Allergens, ordinarily harmless substances, can cause an immune 
 response in an individual causing an allergic reaction. These  
allergens can come in the form of pollen, mold spores, dust 
mites,  pet dander, and more. When an allergen enters the eyes, 
the  lining of the nose or lungs the allergic reaction occurs and  
symptoms begin to appear. For example, the symptoms of 
allergic  rhinitis, commonly known as “hay fever,” include itchy 
eyes,  watery eyes, itchy ears, sneezing, nasal discharge, 
congestion,  headaches, fatigue, sinus infections, and dizziness. 
Patients that  suffer from allergic rhinitis also commonly have 
asthma. While  annoying, environmental allergies can actually 
have a very  negative impact on the quality of life, causing 
missing work days  or family activities.
