Introduction
Food allergies affect millions worldwide and pose significant challenges to daily life. An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies certain foods as harmful and triggers a response. Understanding food allergies and managing them effectively can help improve the quality of life for those affected.
What Are Food Allergies?
Food allergies are immune system responses to certain foods. When someone with a food allergy consumes or comes into contact with the allergen, their body releases chemicals such as histamine, which can lead to symptoms ranging from mild to severe.
