We can have many allergies: to food, animals, dust, etc... People say that now there are more allergies than in the past. They say that this is because pollution, bad habits, a lot of cleaning... but I think that people didn't know if they were allergic or not, there weren't tests to know it.
ResponderEliminarI know a lot of people with allergic problems, especially to dust. For example my brother is allergic to dust and pollen. I think I´m not allergic to anything, I hope that scientists can find a cure for this illness, because many people can't do a normal life, they can do or eat what they want.

The allergy is a thing very common in the people. The allergies can be higher. Food allergy occurs when a person reacts with symptoms contact, ingestion or inhalation of food proteins.
ResponderEliminarIt is important to note that the food allergy is the body's reaction to the proteins produced from the same, never to sugars (lactose, fructose ...). In this case we speak of an intolerance to those sugars produced by a not immune digestive problem. If you give allergy, you must go to the doctor and get an injection.

An allergy is the response of the body's immune system to normally harmless substances, such as pollens, foods, and house dust mite. While in most people these substances pose no problem, in allergic individuals their immune system identifies them as a’ threat’ and produces an inappropriate response.

Allergy is an exaggerated response (HSR) of the defense system (immune system) patient identifies as harmful certain harmless substances (such as pollens of some plants or house dust mite, for example) usually tolerated by the most people.
ResponderEliminarYes I've ever seen, Leonard is allergic to Lactose and about Wolowitz is allergic to lactose peanuts.
There’s a emerging evidence that people who consume large amounts of milk and dairy products are at lower risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colorectal cancer, possibly because of the calcium in milk.

we must pollute less and put less sugar into the food we eat cannot eat.

ResponderEliminarSymptoms of a food allergy include:
ResponderEliminar- Itching and swelling of the mouth
-Vomite, diarrhea or abdominal cramps and pain
-Sunpull or eczema
Feel tight throat and difficulty
breathe
-Decrease in blood pressure.
There is no effective way to prevent a food allergy; The main recommendation to avoid symptoms is to avoid consuming the food.
At present there are many types of food allergies. The most frequent are five:
-Egg
-Fish and seafood
-Milk
-Fruit and fruits
- Dried fruits, legumes and cereals
A food allergy occurs when you eat a certain food, which make your immune system overreacts, becuse it´s identified as a danger substance, so your inmune system just tries to protect you by a response, mostly known as an allergyc reaction.
ResponderEliminarI don´t really know if an allergy is considered as a disease, because studies have claimed that it´s not an heredetary problem, your fathers can not have any kind of allergy and then you can have allergy from multiple things. It symptoms are ranged from mild to severe. Maybe your first allergyc reaction can cause you just a sneeze, but it doesn´t means that all the reactions to this food will be the same, they can be completely different and much more severe than the first one.
I don´t know if my case it´s very common, but personnally, I allergies from multiple things, like, pollen, cypress, olive tree, cat and dog hair, banana tree, but what I consider very particular is that I have allergy from olive and banana tree but I don´t have any kind of reaction to the fruit, I mean, I can eat an olive, a banana without having any symptoms
On the other hand, I almost always get up sneezing and very, very congested, and then, the rest of the day it´s like if I were permanently having a cold, I have always wondered if allergyc people feel the same as me
As a curiosity, I will tell you that the most severe allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, this allergic reaction can paralize your breathing, cause a dramatic drop in your blood pressure and affect your heart rate. It can be fatal and must be treated with an injection of adrenaline.

ResponderEliminarWorldwide, the number of allergies in children is increasing, especially food allergy with tragic consequences such as the death of two British teenagers after eating sesame and peanuts. This allergy has increased in the last 30 years, especially in industrialized societies.
ResponderEliminarPeople think that allergies and greater sensitivity to food are probably environmental and are related to Western lifestyles, due to, there are lower rates of allergies in developing countries. They are also more likely to occur in urban areas than in rural areas.
The increase in allergies in recent decades has been particularly noticeable in the West. Food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the United Kingdom and 9% of those in Australia and throughout Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies.
An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances in the environment that it should see as harmless, known as allergens. These innocent substances become targets, leading to allergic reactions.
The most common symptoms are redness of the skin, hives and swelling and in the most severe cases, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath and anaphylactic shock.
The most common foods that cause allergy in children are milk, eggs, tree nuts, sesame, fish and shellfish.
In my opinion, this is one of the many problems that pollution has and I think we have to put an end to it because we are killing ourselves.

ResponderEliminarI’m watching The Big Bang Theory these months. The sitcom started on 24th September 2007 and ended on 10th May 2018. In Spain was released on Neox and TNT. The sitcom ended because the actor who played Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Jim Parsons, needed to say goodbye to Sheldon Cooper. And CBS and the Warner Bros decided to finish, they said “there isn’t show without Dr. Sheldon Cooper”
ResponderEliminarLeonard Hofstadter had lactose intolerance and he couldn’t take dairy products and Howard Wolowitz was allergic to peanuts.
There are a lot of allergies, to food, to animals, to medicines or air particles. It’s so dangerous because if you don’t know what you’re allergic, it will be so dangerous. It’s advisable to get tested for more security.

ResponderEliminarToday allergy is a very common disease since it can be caught very easily, with just a small particle of dust or any type of food.
ResponderEliminarThis can affect us by giving us cough symptoms, or sneezing, even causing our skin to react in a very bad way.
When any of this happens to us we must go quickly to the doctor or take a pill because this in some cases can be a matter of life and death.
Sometimes we don't take it seriously and we think that this cannot affect us in an extremely bad way until it happens to us.
So we have to be very careful and take care of ourselves better and better.

Currently it is very common to have an allergy, this is a chronic disease that is not contagious. You can start from powder to food ...
ResponderEliminarDepending on the type of severity, we can have risks, so much that we can die, although sometimes we take allergy as something absurd and we do not give it the importance and care it needs.
We can notice that we have some of these symptoms that are the most common, such as:
Lots of sneezing and mucus
swollen lips, tongue, eyes or face.
Red, watery eyes

ResponderEliminarNowadays, it is very common to find people who has an allergy. It can be to some food, some animal, some plant, some cloth…Even medicines. It can result annoying and complicated because they have to be aware of whatever they are going to do, eat, or touch.
ResponderEliminarAbout the food, it is something broad. However, it is very common people who have allergies to nuts. If they eat some of them, they will become inflamed, from the face to some part inside the body. It can be very dangerous because if they don’t have the way to stop it, and the swelling continues getting bigger, the airways stop working as the air doesn’t have enough space to pass through. This can end with serious consequences.
Nevertheless, there are more allergies that can be dangerous too. There are people who have allergies to some medicines, and if they have to use that precisely because of another disease, it is necessary to look for a good substitute. Besides, there are people who have allergies to pets, especially cats and dogs, and it is very common that it happens because of their hair. It is said that it can be avoided if people stay in contact with animals when they are babies.
To sum up, I think that it is a nuisance to have an allergy , because you have to be aware of where you are going to go, what you are going to eat or to touch. I have a little allergy to pollen and in spring it is very uncomfortable

In addition, there are people who are allergic to pets, especially cats and dogs, and it is very common for this to happen because of their fur.
ResponderEliminarIt is said that it can be avoided if people are in contact with the animals when they are babies. In short, I think it is a nuisance to have an allergy, because you have to be aware of where you are going to go, what you are going to eat or what you are going to touch.
Nowadays it is very common to find people who are allergic to some type of plants, food, animals and other things. The truth is that it has to be somewhat annoying, but how do these people feel?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand we have those people who are allergic to a type of food or meal. These types of people cannot eat anything that has to do with that food to which they are allergic. In case of ingesting it without realizing it, they have to go to the doctor so that their situation does not get worse. We have the example in which a person allergic to milk, takes it without realizing it, this person can get puffed up and turn another color, so it is very dangerous.
On the other hand, we have other types of allergies, these are those caused by plants when you touch them. This type of allergies cause swelling of the eyes or even spots all over the body. Although they are less dangerous than the first ones, they also have their percentage of dangerousness.
To conclude, we can say that all allergies are bad, since each one causes reactions of all kinds, although some are less dangerous than others.
