A Look at the Sneezy, Itchy World of AllergiesEveryone has heard of allergies, and some kids have one or more things that can create allergic symptoms like:
It must be very sad to have allergies to dogs or cats because then you cannot have them as pets. Some parents have allergies and do not allow their kids to have pets. The allergy symptoms are caused by animal dander, which is on the animal’s body and fur, and dander is airborne. You can’t even sneak a puppy or kitten into your room at night, because your mum or dad would begin to sneeze their heads off. Then they would mount a room-by-room search to find the cause. There are people who are allergic to certain metals or plastics and the allergic symptoms appear if they try to use an I-pod or mobile phone. Peanuts, eggs, and shellfish are some of the most deadly allergies a person can have. If someone has a severe allergy to peanuts, just being near a peanut butter sandwich could make them break out in hives, skin rashes or have trouble breathing. If you have an allergy to one of these foods, just trying one little bite could mean a trip to the hospital; and sometimes people will even die. These are not allergies to joke about. Usually allergies are just an annoying disruption or a nuisance. Luckily, most people with allergies have minor reactions to the substances and products that their bodies cannot tolerate. Usually an allergy will only result in a runny nose; sneezing; coughing; or red, watery eyes. Being allergic to something is very different from just not liking how something smells or tastes. You may think some of the foods you eat are Yucky, but that does not mean that you will start sneezing or itching if you try a few bites. There are some foods (including veggies) that can make you have allergic reactions so read on to find out how zucchini, celery, and cucumbers could bring on a fit of sneezes or watery eyes.
Okay, now you have a really good reason to give your mum for not wanting to eat some of your vegetables. If you have an allergy to the pollen from birch trees, your allergic symptoms can suddenly appear if you eat: Weed allergies can be caused by more than just weeds. If you eat celery, apples, carrots, melons or add spices like fennel or cumin to your foods there is a slight chance that you might end up sneezing and coughing for hours.
