BASED ON THE SENSITIZATION PROPERTIES OF FOOD ALLERGENS

Abstract

Food allergy is an immune reaction of the body to components included in some
products. Usually children, especially breastfed babies suffer from this disease. Food allergies are
less common in adults. The dangerous side of allergy is that even a small amount of allergen can
endanger human life. In case of food allergy, new products that are absolutely harmless to other
people can have a negative effect on someone. Usually they appear on the skin, less often in the
digestive system. In case of severe allergy, the patient may experience anaphylactic shock, which
is extremely life-threatening, and what is noteworthy is that this type of reaction is less common
in food allergy.
